FB: South Alabama football to host Mississippi State
Mobile Press-Register
The South Alabama Jaguars will host the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in 2014 as part of a three-game football series annouced today.
The Jags will travel to Starkville in 2012 and 2016. USA also announced today that the school has reached an agreement to play Kent State three times, with the 2013 game being played in Mobile.
"To be able to bring Mississippi State to Mobile is a great plus for our program. These two-for-one contracts are very important early on as we continue to build for the future," Jaguar head coach Joey Jones said. "I'll never forget when Missouri visited Troy a few years ago, that was a big deal when they went down there. Any time you can do that you're advancing your program, and that's where we're going."
"With the contractual agreement with Mississippi State to play in Mobile, we are clearly sending a message to the community that we are committed to football and to provide our fans an opportunity to see the Jags play teams like MSU, North Carolina State, Navy and others," said USA Athletic Director Joe Gottfried
