Bobcat Football announces upcoming schedules
by Danny Waldo
Montana State football will see the return of some familiar faces in the 2020 season after they announced their upcoming schedules recently.
After opening the 2020 season versus Long Island University, a school that is transitioning to the FCS level in 2019, the Bobcats will head south to Salt Lake City to face the University of Utah, a team MSU faced regularly in the old Rocky Mountain Conference. The ‘Cats will then return home to face another team from the Beehive State, as Dixie State returns to Bozeman for the first time since 2009. Dixie State is in the process of moving up to the FCS level, and has signed a three-game agreement with the Bobcats. DSU will also visit Bozeman in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Montana State also announced upcoming games versus FBS opponents in the coming years as well. MSU will open the 2019 season on the road at Big 12 member Texas Tech, and they will visit Wyoming in 2021, and PAC-12 member Oregon State in 2022.
Another first-time opponent, Morehead State, will make a visit to Bozeman during the 2022 season as well.
For conference home games in 2020, the Bobcats will welcome Northern Colorado, Cal Poly, Idaho State and Idaho, and for the 2021 season MSU will see the return of Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona and Montana, in addition to UC Davis.
The Bobcats have two open dates to fill on their schedule for 2021, one open date in 2022, and two open dates in 2023. Conference games and open games have not been announced for the 2024 season yet.
