STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI/MSU Athletics) — Mississippi State and Tulane have scheduled a future home-and-home football series for the 2020 and 2023 seasons, the two programs announced on Friday.

The two will meet on Oct. 3, 2020 at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville. The Bulldogs will visit Yulman Stadium in New Orleans on Oct. 7, 2023.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Tulane AD Troy Dannen to renew the longstanding football series between the Bulldogs and Green Wave,” MSU Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin said. “New Orleans is a great destination for our Bulldog fans and a place we hope to get to more often in the future.”

MSU and Tulane will be renewing the series for the first time since Sept. 8, 2007. Anthony Dixon rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs beat the Green Wave, 38-17, in that contest in New Orleans. MSU is 30-26-2 all-time against Tulane since the first meeting between the two in 1901.
