Southern Miss and Mississippi State are set to get reacquainted on the gridiron.

The two schools announced Tuesday a 2-for-1 deal that will send the Golden Eagles to Starkville on Sept. 7, 2019 and Sept. 23, 2023. In return, the Bulldogs will travel to Hattiesburg on Sept. 14, 2024. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Southern Miss was originally set for a road date with Troy on Sept. 7, 2019. The new date for that contest has not been announced.

The new deal marks the second scheduling arrangement the Golden Eagles have made with a desirable opponent in close proximity to Hattiesburg since Jon Gilbert took over as athletic director.
