Ole Miss has taken a step closer to finalizing its 2020 schedule with the addition of Georgia Southern. The Rebels will face off against the Eagles Sept. 12, 2020, in Oxford after opening the 2020 season in Houston against Baylor.

News of this scheduled game is being reported by Brett McMurphy of ESPN.

In addition to playing Georgia Southern and Baylor, Ole Miss is also scheduled to face off against Southeast Missouri in 2020 — leaving one additional non-conference game necessary to get a full schedule. In conference play, Ole Miss is set to host Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, and Florida, while traveling to Arkansas, LSU, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt in 2020.

Ole Miss has only met Georgia Southern on the field one time, which came last season in a 37-27 win for the Rebels in Oxford.
