Louisiana Tech has signed a four-game series with Southern Miss, both athletic departments announced on Tuesday.

LA Tech and USM are already slated to meet on Sept. 20, 2025 in Ruston at Joe Aillet Stadium and again on Sept. 19, 2026 at M.M. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

The four additional games will take place on Sept. 15, 2029 (Ruston), Sept. 20, 2031 (Hattiesburg), Sept. 18, 2032 (Ruston), and Sept. 17, 2023 (Hattiesburg).

The programs have met 53 times on the gridiron, the third most matchups of any Bulldog opponent behind only in-state foes UL-Lafayette and Northwestern State.

The first ever meeting between the Bulldogs and Golden Eagles came in 1935 while the last meeting was in 2021, which was also the last matchup as league opponents in Conference USA.
