Mississippi State has scheduled a non-conference series for 2030 and 2031 to play a home and home series.
In the first game of the series, Mississippi State will travel to face Southern Miss at M. M. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2030. The following season on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2031, the Bulldogs will host the Golden Eagles at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Miss., which will conclude the two-game series, FBS Schedules reported.
Mississippi State now has 3 non-conference games scheduled for the 2030 season and 2 for the 2031 season. The Bulldogs are currently slated to host Tulane in 2030 and play Washington State in a home-and-home series in 2030 in Starkville and in 2031 in Pullman, Washington.
The Golden Eagles are a familiar opponent for the Bulldogs.
Mississippi State and Southern Miss have met 30 times on the gridiron in a series that began in 1935 in Hattiesburg. The Bulldogs have won the last 5 meetings with the Golden Eagles, including 38-15 in their most recent contest in Starkville in 2019. Mississippi State now holds a one-game advantage in the overall series, 15-14-1.
The contest played in 2019 is a part of a three-game series that includes future games in Starkville on Nov. 18, 2023 and in Hattiesburg on Aug. 30, 2025.
Mississippi State is coming off a 7-6 record and loss in the Liberty Bowl to Texas Tech, and Mississippi State will enter 2022 with significant contributors returning. The Bulldogs had freshmen and sophomores score 35 of their 47 regular-season touchdowns. QB Will Rogers will be back after he set the school’s single-season passing record.
