Georgia State is getting their house in order when it comes to their future schedule by announcing a pair of changes earlier this week that concern the Panthers in the not too distant future.
Perhaps the most notable announcement comes in the form of a trip to LSU on Nov. 18, 2023 in Death Valley. The Tigers also play host to Army in the non-conference slate that same season but have penciled in GSU for their regular end of the year breather at home before closing out the rest of their SEC West games in late November.
While it’s notable that the Sun Belt school is now on the docket for yet another SEC foe, perhaps the more interesting change the school made was with regards to their upcoming home-and-home with East Carolina.
The Pirates, who are still trying to adjust their future schedules after a still-ongoing spat with Virginia Tech resulted in a number of holes, are now set in the non-conference slate with the move to start the series against GSU in Atlanta on October 3, 2020. The return date in Greenville comes some seven years later on September 25, 2027.
That works out better than the previously scheduled 2023/2028 split for the Panthers as well, as they can close out the books on their non-conference games in 2020 with the home date against ECU and another with FCS Murray State complementing trips to Alabama and Charlotte in the same season.
