Mississippi State football announces addition to 2024 non-conference slate

Bulldogs will host a first-time opponent

All eyes are right now on what will hopefully be an as-scheduled 2020 season, but on Monday, Mississippi State began further painting a picture of what the 2024 slate will look like.

MSU will host Utah State at Davis Wade Stadium on September 14, 2024, it was announced. It'll be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

With the announcement, it now appears the non-conference portion of State's 2024 schedule is set. The Bulldogs are slated to host Eastern Kentucky on August 31, 2024, then travel to Arizona State for a game a week later. After the Utah State game, MSU's other 2024 non-conference tilt is set to be an October 19 home game against UMass.
