Michigan State is unveiling a stunning new art installation to honor its 1965 and 1966 national championship teams—pioneering squads that shattered racial barriers in college football. Featuring a legendary photo of coach Duffy Daugherty with stars like Clinton Jones, Bubba Smith, and George Webster, the tribute will debut before the historic Michigan State vs. Notre Dame game in September 2027. These back-to-back champs went 19-1-1, dominated the Big Ten, and helped integrate the sport by recruiting Black players from the South. Their legacy includes four top-eight NFL draft picks and a thrilling 1966 tie against Notre Dame—nicknamed “the game of the century.” Athletic Director Dan Bartholomae calls them trailblazers who broke records and barriers, ensuring their impact lives on for generations.
