For only the second time since 1990 MSU will play Southern Miss on Saturday. The series was renewed last year – a game the Bulldogs won 49-0. Why did we quit playing the Golden Eagles? Well, they kept beating us for one thing.
USM has won 10 of the last 15 meetings.
Ouch.
All the more reason to stomp them come opening kickoff. And because State can “even the series” by doing so.
This used to be an annual matchup. The Bulldogs and mustard buzzards met every year from 1964-1990 (except 1971 and 1974). And that’s pretty much the entire series except for a couple of Mississippi State wins in 1935 and 1947.
