Approximately 650 tickets for Iowa’s Nov. 12 football game against Michigan State have been made available for purchase, according to a release.

Tickets are available at HawkeyeSports.com and can be ordered by calling 1-800-IA-HAWKS or by visiting the Iowa athletics ticket office in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, open from 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Each ticket costs $65.

The game will serve as the Hawkeyes’ final home contest of the season; they hit the road to finish the 2011-12 campaign at Purdue and at Nebraska.

The game’s kickoff time has yet to be announced.

Michigan State was ranked No. 15 in the most recent Associated Press poll — No. 17 in the BCS rankings — but lost to the Cornhuskers on Oct. 29. The Spartans host Minnesota this week, and would enter Kinnick Stadium with 7-2 record (4-1 Big Ten, 2-1 Legends Division) with a victory over the Gophers.

Iowa has defeated Michigan State twice in a row, and Kirk Ferentz is 6-4 against the Spartans since becoming the Hawkeyes’ head coach prior to the 1999 season. The teams didn’t play each other in 2005 or 2006.
