vHATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss renews its in-state football rivalry with Mississippi State when they travel to Starkville this weekend.
The game is set to be played at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field with a kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. The contest will also be aired on ESPNU as well as an affiliate of the Southern Miss Sports Network from Learfield IMG College.
This will be the 30th meeting in the series with each time holding 14 wins with one tie. Two of the Golden Eagle victories, in 1975 and 1976 were awarded as forfeit victories.
The series, which dates back to the 1935 season, returned after a 24-year hiatus in 2014 with MSU capturing a 49-0 decision in Starkville. The two teams returned to Hattiesburg the following year with the Bulldogs taking a 34-16 decision in front of a Southern Miss record crowd of 36,641 on Sept. 5, 2015.
Southern Miss looks to snap a four-game losing streak to both MSU and Southeastern Conference foes this weekend. The Golden Eagles are 6-9-1 in games played in Starkville.
The two schools were a fixture on each other schedules from 1964 through 1990, only missing 1971 and 1974 on each other's respective schedules. The two teams have two more future games scheduled for 2023 in Starkville, and 2025 in Hattiesburg.
The Golden Eagles have a streak of playing an SEC foe in 52 of the last 56 seasons. Southern Miss also travels to Alabama later this month. The last win for the Golden Eagles over an SEC school came at Lexington, Ky., when Southern Miss rallied for a 44-35 win the season opener over Kentucky in Jay Hopson first game in 2016.
The MSU contest starts the first of three-straight games away from home for the Golden Eagles.
