Arkansas State is renewing a football series with a longtime rival.
Athletic directors at both ASU and Memphis have signed a contract for a four-year home-and-home series beginning in 2020, according to the contract and ASU Athletic Director Terry Mohajir.
The series will include games in 2020 and 2022 at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis and in 2021 and 2023 at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro. The first game, scheduled for Sept. 5, 2020, will be the first time the teams have played since 2013 and will end the longest break in the series in more than four decades.
