ST. GEORGE, Utah – The Dixie State football program continued to add to its future schedule by announcing a two series against Montana and Montana State.

The two schools have played each other twice before. Montana State blew Dixie State away 61-7 in 2007 and then narrowly won in 2009 by a 23-20 margin.
Dixie State announced its intention to move into Division I and FCS status in January. While the Trailblazers don’t yet have a conference affiliation in place, they have series set against Big Sky teams in SUU, Weber State and Northern Arizona. They also have a deal in place to play at BYU in 2022.
