2009 SEASON PREVIEW The Rutgers football program got off to a bit of a slow start in 2008, going 1-5 in its first six contests, however, the Scarlet Knights rattled off seven straight victories to end the year, en route to making its fourth consecutive bowl game appearance. It was not enough for RU to just advance to the PapaJohns.com Bowl, the team continued to add to its growing program history with its third-straight bowl game victory – giving the Scarlet Knights another first-time accomplishment in the school’s annals. Rutgers’ 29-23 win against NC State was a testament to the Scarlet Knights’ ability to persevere throughout the season. Prior to the PapaJohns.com Bowl, RU was winless in games in which it trailed its opponents through the first three quarters. Similar to how the team was able to overcome its start to the year, Rutgers reversed a one-point deficit, outscoring the Wolfpack 13-6 in the fourth quarter to come away with the victory. With a combined nine Scarlet Knight starters from both sides of the ball no longer at his disposal, head coach Greg Schiano and his staff will look to several battle tested returnees to fill in at a number of positions. Their experiences during the 2008 campaign should prove beneficial as they enter another season ‘On the Banks’, and continue to help cement Rutgers among the elite programs in college football. Since arriving at RU, Schiano has continued to upgrade the talent level on the field, evident by a record-breaking five selections in the 2009 NFL Draft. Highlighting the milestone was the first-round pick of wide receiver Kenny Britt by the Tennessee Titans, Rutgers’ first-ever player in school history chosen in the opening round. The Scarlet Knights saw a total of eight former players move on to professional camps. In 2009, Schiano will welcome the return of seven starters on offense and six on defense as well as the addition of a nationally-ranked class of highly touted recruits. The Scarlet Knights will boast a new look in both its personnel and home field as Rutgers Stadium will open with newly-constructed seating in the south end zone.
OFFENSE
Offensively, RU ranked among the top programs in the country in a number of categories. As a team, the passing offense was 18th, passing efficiency 20th and both total offense and scoring offense 39th.

Rutgers will have big shoes to fill at the quarterback position with the graduation of senior signal caller Mike Teel. The most decorated passer in Scarlet Knight history, Teel holds the school record for passing yards (9,383), touchdowns (59) and total offense (9,173). He set the single-season record in passing yards (3,418 in 2008) and established the top two single-season records for touchdown passes with 20 in 2007 and 25 in 2008. A three-year starter, Teel led the BIG EAST (18th in the nation) in passing efficiency (148.13) and ranked 28th in the country in total offense in 2008. He completed 243-of-396 passes for 3,148 yards on the year and 25 touchdowns. During the Scarlet Knights’ seven-game win streak, Teel went 141-of-212 (66.5 completion percentage) with 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Stepping in to handle the load under center will be a pair of redshirt seniors in Jabu Lovelace and Dominic Natale. Lovelace served as the backup
in 2007, rushing for 332 yards and four touchdowns in 10 contests, but played in just two games in 2008 after suffering a broken ankle. Natale made his debut as a Scarlet Knight last season, appearing in five games. The Michigan State transfer made a number of plays on key drives and will use that experience in live game action to compete for the position vacated by Teel. Natale also benefited from an increased number of snaps during spring camp. Also in the mix at quarterback will be redshirt freshmen D.C. Jefferson and Steve Shimko. Jefferson and Shimko earned reps in practice during their first year at Rutgers and they continue to develop and progress as signal callers. With Jefferson, at 6-6 240-pounds and Shimko, 6-5 230-pounds, the pair possess the tools to be capable replacements. True freshman Tom Savage will also battle for time under center during preseason camp for the Scarlet Knights.

Following the departure of All-American running back Ray Rice – a secondround draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens – Rutgers was left with a major void at the position in 2008. Schiano and his staff turned to a running back by committee approach and received ample production at tailback. The Scarlet Knights return its top three running backs from a year ago, including Kordell Young who made his return to the gridiron after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during his sophomore season. The most seasoned running back in the group, the redshirt junior rushed for a teamleading 554 yards and five touchdowns in limited action (eight games). Young was held back on a few occasions due to repeated soreness but the 5-9, 185-pound back returns this fall to shoulder the load. After earning time on the scout team as true freshmen in 2007, Jourdan Brooks and Joe Martinek made their debuts for the Scarlet Knights in 2008 and the pair provided a dynamic attack at the running back position. At 6-1, 230-pounds, Brooks ran with a more bruising style while a shiftier 6-0, 215-pound Martinek brought a physical approach as well to the backfield. Brooks ran for 516 yards on 100 carriers (5.2 yards per rush) and six touchdowns. He had standout games at Navy with 134 yards and two TDs and against Louisville with 124 yards and a score in the home finale. Martinek played in 13 games in 2008 and found his stride late in the season, rushing for 317 yards in the
YOUNG

2009 SEASON PREVIEW final five contests. He rushed for 432 yards (76 carries) on the year with four touchdowns for a 5.3 yards-per-carry average. Senior Jack Corcoran was the full-time starter at fullback in 2008 and returns as another weapon in the backfield for the Scarlet Knights. Corcoran played in all 13 games, making eight starts and he increased his offensive production, catching 19 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns in 2008 – all career highs. Junior Andres Morales will also provide depth at the fullback position after playing in seven games in 2008.

The Scarlet Knights will look to replace two major contributors in its wide receiver unit following the departure of Kenny Britt and Tiquan Underwood. The all-time leading receiver in BIG EAST and Rutgers history, Britt became RU’s second early entrant in as many years into the NFL Draft. Britt led the team with 1,371 yards – a single-season record – and seven touchdowns. Underwood, a 1,000-yard receiver in his own right and another highly decorated wide receiver during his time in Piscataway, accounted for 494 yards and five touchdowns in 2008. Rutgers welcomes back senior Tim Brown. The leading returning receiver, Brown proved to be a valuable deep-ball threat for the Scarlet Knights, hauling in 27 catches for 565 yards, yielding a team-high 20.9 yards-percatch average. He also tallied a career-best six touchdowns through the air, including one on the ground. Adding depth at the wide receiver position will be Julian Hayes, a redshirt junior, redshirt senior Andrew DePaola and four redshirt freshmen in Marcus Cooper, Eddie Poole, Keith Stroud and Tim Wright. Hayes appeared in 12 games, earning time on special teams, while DePaola served as the primary holder. The group saw a great deal of action during the spring and will continue to compete for a position in the wide receiver rotation. Junior Mason Robinson, a running back in his first two seasons, made the switch to wide receiver during spring camp. A speedster as a state champion in high school track, Robinson rushed for 157 yards on 41 carries and caught 12 passes for 125 yards in a backup role in 2008. His experience in live-game action and his sure-handedness could make the converted receiver a valuable offensive option. The wide receivers will also receive a boost from freshman Mohamed Sanu. The South Brunswick native joined the squad prior to the start of spring camp and made immediate headlines with a stellar campaign. He also saw action on the defensive side at safety. Sanu scored a touchdown at wide out in the spring game and could be one to watch on the offensive side of the ball in 2009.

Redshirt junior Shamar Graves will take over at the tight end position following the graduation of senior Kevin Brock, who played in 13 games, catching 26 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns. Graves emerged as the starter towards the end of last season, getting the nod in six of the final seven contests. He caught 16 passes for 227 yards and a careerbest three touchdowns – one each in three consecutive games, coinciding with the Scarlet Knights seven-game win streak.

The Rutgers offensive line will be the most veteran of units returning for 2009 with all five starters still on the roster. The group paved the way for a combined 1,664 yards on the ground and 3,515 yards through the air. Leading the group is second team All-BIG EAST selection and former Freshman All-American Anthony Davis, who started 12 games at left tackle last season. One of the most athletic members of the line, Davis enters his junior year with one full season at tackle after spending his freshman campaign at guard. The other bookend at the right tackle spot will be senior Kevin Haslam who took over the position after playing guard for most of the 2007 season. Haslam started all 13 games, and along with Davis proved to be valuable replacements for the departed All-BIG EAST tackles Jeremy Zuttah and Pedro Sosa.
DAVIS
Senior Ryan Blaszczyk returns to man the center position after starting every game of the previous two seasons at the position. A Rimington Trophy candidate, awarded annually to the top collegiate center in the nation, Blaszczyk has been a part of a number of outstanding offensive performances. His experience will be invaluable for the Scarlet Knights as they make adjustments to new members on the offensive side of the ball, particularly at quarterback. Seeing time at guard will be redshirt sophomore Caleb Ruch and true sophomore Art Forst. Ruch played in 11 games last season, earning time at a number of positions along the offensive line. Forst saw his first game experience in the Scarlet Knights’ fifth game at West Virginia. He went on to start the final eight games of the 2008 campaign at right guard.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW Adding depth to the offensive line will be redshirt juniors Howard Barbieri and Mo Lange and redshirt sophomores Desmond Stapleton and Richard Muldrow and redshirt freshman Devon Watkis. Barbieri appeared in all 13 games, making four starts, while Lange played in 11 games, primarily on field goals and point-after attempts. Sophomore Desmond Wynn was named the team’s Most Improved Offensive Player in spring drills and could be another player to watch up front.
DEFENSE
Last season, the Scarlet Knights ranked among the best in several areas defensively. RU was 33rd in total defense, 36th in pass defense and tied for 40th in sacks. Numbers which were down from a standout defensive unit in 2007, however; during Rutgers’ seven-game win streak, the Scarlet Knights held opponents to just 330.1 yards of total offense while its own offensive unit averaged 467.0 yards per game. RU also managed 15 takeaways during that stretch.

Rutgers will be looking for a number of replacements on the defensive side of the ball as it will be without the services of four-year starter at safety Courtney Greene, three-year starter at defensive end Jamaal Westerman, three-year starter at cornerback Jason McCourty, two-year starter at linebacker Kevin Malast and two-year starter at defensive tackle Pete Tverdov.
JOHNSON
The group accounted for 34.8 percent (317-out of912) of the Scarlet Knights’ tackle output, 39.7 percent (11.5-out of-29) of sacks and 50 percent (5-out of10) of the interceptions in 2008. Leading the defensive line will be senior and two-year starter George Johnson. He collected 39 tackles, including 10 for loss, while also posting two sacks and an interception. Johnson was also second on the team with six quarterback hurries and added a fumble recovery on the year.
Anchoring the other side of the defensive line will be Alex Silvestro. The junior, who made the shift from the interior, started all 13 games at defensive tackle, recording 43 tackles, eight for loss and two sacks. He will be joined by fellow junior Jonathan Freeny who will also find himself in the mix along
the defensive line following a solid sophomore campaign. Freeny saw time in 13 contests in a backup role, making 19 stops. Others who will be in contention for a spot on the defensive line will be senior Blair Bines, who made the transition to tackle after spending the first two seasons at linebacker, and sophomore Eric LeGrand. Bines recorded 15 tackles (2.5 for loss) in 12 games, including a safety which helped Rutgers to a 12-10 win over Connecticut, sparking the eventual seven-game turnaround. LeGrand saw action as a true freshman, appearing in 11 games. Another converted linebacker, LeGrand saw action on the offensive side of the ball as well, playing fullback for the Scarlet Knights. He had 13 tackles and was a mainstay on special teams. Adding depth to the defensive line will be redshirt junior Sorie Bayoh, junior Charlie Noonan, sophomore Justin Francis and redshirt freshman Scott Vallone. Bayoh played in 12 games, primarily on special teams, collecting 14 tackles. Noonan saw action in 13 games with nine tackles, while Vallone saw time in two games as a true freshman before a leg injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Francis is making his return to the gridiron after missing the 2008 season. Noonan and Bines started at defensive tackle in the spring and Noonan was named the team’s Most Improved Defensive Player during spring drills. Freshman Andre Civil joined the Rutgers football program prior to the spring semester and has quickly developed into a viable option in the defensive line rotation.

The unit of linebackers will be without Malast, the team’s leading tackler, however the second-best stopper in 2008, Ryan D’Imperio, returns for his senior season. D’Imperio amassed 93 tackles (12.5 for loss), 5.5 sacks, one interception and two fumble recoveries as he reclaims his spot at starting middle linebacker. The fifth-best tackler in the conference, D’Imperio earned second team All-BIG EAST accolades for a strong junior campaign. Damaso Munoz, the other senior of the group, locked up the starting spot at strongside linebacker following an outstanding spring camp. Munoz made his bid for the position towards the end of 2008, after starting four of the final five games. Munoz had 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one interception on the year. Also in the mix at linebacker is redshirt sophomore Manny Abreu. He played in all 13 games, making eight starts. Abreu recorded 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks and forced a fumble in his first season as a starter. Joining him in the battle for a spot will be juniors Antonio Lowery and Jim Dumont. The pair saw action primarily on special team, but can look forward to an increased role in 2009. Lowery played in all 13 games with 16 tackles, while Dumont appeared in 10 with seven stops and a fumble recovery.

Rutgers will experience the biggest adjustments among its group of defensive backs after the graduation of two standouts in Greene, who started a school-record 51 consecutive games and Jason McCourty, who manned the cornerback position opposite his twin brother for the past three seasons. Filling in for Greene at safety will be senior Zaire Kitchen and junior Joe Lefeged. The pair rotated in the spot alongside Greene for much of the season, but can find themselves taking over at both free and strong safety. Kitchen showed his surgically repaired knee was finally healthy as he played in all 13 games with 32 tackles and a team-best three forced fumbles. Lefeged appeared in all 13 games, ranking fourth on the team with 72 tackles, four for a loss. He also added two fumble recoveries, including one which went for a touchdown. At the cornerback position, senior Devin McCourty returns to the spot he has started for the past two seasons. McCourty had 57 tackles, one interception and led the squad with seven pass breakups. He will be joined by fellow cornerbacks Brandon Bing and Billy Anderson. Bing played in 11 games, primarily on special teams, however, he did record an interception in the closing minutes of the home finale against Louisville. Anderson also saw time sparingly, appearing in four games. Others who will be in the mix in the defensive backfield will be sophomores David Rowe and Patrick Kivlehan, along with redshirt freshmen Brandon Jones and Khaseem Greene. Rowe made a significant impact as a true freshman, playing in all 13 games with 23 tackles and two sacks, while Kivlehan saw action in nine games as a key member on special teams.
Te converted 12-of-17 field goals and was 45-of-48 on extra points, while Dellagana recorded a punt average of 41.2 yards. He also placed 18 punts inside the 20-yard line and booted 13 for more than 13 yards.

For the second consecutive year, the Rutgers football team was ranked third in the nation in the Academic Progress Rate according to the latest multi-year APR figures released by the NCAA. The Scarlet Knights have a four-year APR score of 980, which covers the academic years of 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08. The top five Football Bowl Subdivision schools in terms of APR are Stanford (984), Air Force (983), Rutgers (980), Duke (980) and Rice (979). For the third consecutive year, Rutgers football has the best APR mark of any state university in the nation. Rutgers was one of only six Football Bowl Subdivision programs to be ranked in the top 10 percent in the APR scores. RU was the only institution in the nation to have its football team ranked in the top 10 percent of the APR and win a bowl game in each of the last two seasons. Rutgers defeated NC State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl for its third consecutive postseason victory last December. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester or quarter by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention, and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving public recognition awards this year posted APR scores ranging from 976 to a perfect 1,000.

Entering his ninth year as head coach of the Rutgers football program, Greg Schiano has created what he started out to accomplish - build one of the top programs in the nation on a rock solid foundation - both on the field and in the classroom. The latest report released by the NCAA in May showed that Rutgers has the third-best APR in the nation and the No. 1 mark for a state university. The ultimate goal remains the same for Schiano since the day he accepted the position on Dec. 1, 2000 - to win the National Championship. The longest-tenured coach in the BIG EAST, Schiano has guided the Scarlet Knights to new heights throughout his career “On the Banks” – including three consecutive bowl victories for the first time in school history last December with Rutgers’ 29-23 victory over NC State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. The 2008 campaign for the Scarlet Knights started slowly, but the program relied on a strong foundation built by Schiano and together as a family Rutgers turned a 1-5 start into seven consecutive victories to close out the season. The Scarlet Knights have played in a bowl game in four consecutive seasons – another first in school history and just one of three BIG EAST programs to do so. Rutgers is one of 31 teams in the nation to play in four consecutive bowls. Among BCS members, Rutgers is one of 21 schools to play in four straight bowl games. The Scarlet Knights are also one of 11 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision to win three bowl championships over the last three years. Before Schiano’s arrival at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights played in one bowl game in 131 seasons of football.
The on-field success under Schiano has led to attendance records at Rutgers Stadium as the program averaged over 40,000 fans per game for the third time in 2008. The Scarlet Knights have played in front of 17 consecutive sell-out crowds at home, the longest streak in the BIG EAST. Construction continues on expanding Rutgers Stadium to increase the seating capacity to just over 52,000. The project is scheduled to be finished by the start of the 2009 season. With the excitement surrounding Rutgers football at an all-time high, the on-field accolades for the players have continued under Schiano’s leadership. Five players earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2008, including two First Team selections in junior wide receiver Kenny Britt and senior defensive back Courtney Greene. Three additional Scarlet Knights captured All-BIG EAST Second Team accolades, including sophomore offensive lineman Anthony Davis, junior linebacker Ryan D’Imperio and senior defensive end Jamaal Westerman. Senior cornerback Jason McCourty became the fourth Scarlet Knight in six years to be a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy, regarded as the “Academic Heisman.” The Scarlet Knights continue to work towards their ultimate goal after four straight bowl appearances, including a sensational 2006 campaign. Rutgers ended the season with a ranking of #12 in the national polls. The success Rutgers has achieved on the field was something Schiano envisioned from the first day he became the leader of the Scarlet Knights. At his introductory press conference, Schiano stated “We're going to win at Rutgers and we're going to do it the right way.” The 2006 season was complete with a convincing 37-10 victory over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, the first bowl championship in school history.
107 Schiano, the 2006 National Coach of the Year and BIG EAST Coach of the Year, has been the architect of transforming the Rutgers program into one of the nation's best. The Scarlet Knights earned their first national top-10 ranking in 2006 and won 11 games for the second time in school history. Senior Brian Leonard was also the recipient of the Draddy Trophy in 2006. “All along we have said the same thing,” stated Schiano. “What we're doing here, we're just scratching the surface. The sky is the limit here at Rutgers and we're going to do great things. We've recruited really great young guys in this program and this is home. The same things I said at this podium the first time in this room that were true then are still true now. This state and the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas have all started to come together here and that's only going to get better. It's something that's never been tapped, so to me, this is a great, great situation." A New Jersey native who returned to his roots to take over the reigns of the Rutgers football program, Schiano has led the Scarlet Knights throughout his tenure with the energy, passion and boundless enthusiasm that have been the hallmarks of his career.

COACHING EXPERIENCE 2000 Rutgers University (head coach)
1999-00 University of Miami (defensive coordinator)
Schiano's impact as head coach is evidenced in all aspects of the Rutgers football program. Schiano and his staff have continued to upgrade the level of talent by recruiting student-athletes with outstanding athleticism and great character, all part of the building process that continues to result in on-field success. Rutgers now boasts one of the nation's finest football complexes, highlighted by an expansive strength and conditioning facility, a state-of-the-art training room and academic support facilities which include classrooms, study rooms and computer labs.
1998 Chicago Bears (defensive backfield coach)
With a state-of-the-art HD scoreboard and FieldTurf playing surface in place, Rutgers Stadium continues to be one of the most scenic settings for college football in the country. Schiano's arrival signaled a new era at Rutgers, and he continues to guide the program at New Jersey's State University to the elite of the Football Bowl Subdivision. His tireless work ethic, winning attitude and commitment to the University are pillars which generate excitement throughout the "State of Rutgers."
1991-96 Penn State University (defensive backfield coach)
Schiano, who grew up in Wyckoff and graduated from Ramapo High School, took over as the 27th head coach of the nation's oldest college football program on Dec. 1, 2000. On that day, Schiano proclaimed his vision of excellence for Rutgers football. "This program will be built on a rock foundation," he said. "It will take longer than building it on stilts, but when it's built, it will be built forever. This is where I started; this is where I was striving to get back to. I'm thrilled to be here. It's time."

Under Schiano's guidance, a host of former Scarlet Knights have advanced to the NFL. In the last three Super Bowls, a former Scarlet Knight has earned a Super Bowl ring. Gary Brackett was a captain of the XLI Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts, Giants co-captain Shaun O’Hara won a ring in Super Bowl XLII with New York and Darnell Stapleton started at right guard on Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl Championship team in Super Bowl XLIII. The 2009 NFL Draft was a historic draft for Rutgers as a school-record five players were selected, including the program’s inaugural first-round pick in wide receiver Kenny Britt. The Tennessee Titans selected Britt with the 30th overall pick of the draft. Quarterback Mike Teel (Seattle Seahawks), cornerback Jason McCourty (Tennessee Titans), defensive back Courtney Greene (Seattle Seahawks) and wide receiver Tiquan Underwood (Jacksonville Jaguars) also had their names called on draft day.

HEAD COACH GREG SCHIANO Three additional members of the 2008 Scarlet Knights team also signed free agent contracts in Kevin Brock (Carolina Panthers), Kevin Malast (Chicago Bears) and Jamaal Westerman (New York Jets). In total, 26 former Scarlet Knights are currently on NFL rosters, including 25 who played under Schiano “On the Banks.” In the 2008 NFL Draft, two Rutgers players were selected – Ray Rice in the second round to the Baltimore Ravens and Jeremy Zuttah to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round. Both Rice and Zuttah started multiple games during their rookie seasons in the NFL. Eric Foster (Free Agent, Indianapolis Colts) and Ron Girault (Free Agent, Kansas City Chiefs) also signed professional contracts in 2008. Foster was a starter most of the season for the Colts at defensive tackle. In the 2007 NFL Draft, three Scarlet Knights were drafted, including Brian Leonard in the second round to the St. Louis Rams.
“Coach Schiano has been around a lot of really good football players and that is not an accident. You know if they come out of this program they are wellcoached and disciplined. You’re getting the finished product. You don’t have to worry about him making the adjustment to the National Football League.”

Another former standout, defensive back Nate Jones of the Miami Dolphins, was a remarkable talent on the field and in the classroom while at Rutgers. Jones became Rutgers football's first two-time Academic All-America selection, and was a member of the prestigious National Football Foundation/ College Football Hall of Fame National Scholar Class of 2003, one of just eight Football Bowl Subdivision players honored. Jones was also the recipient of the BIG EAST/Aéropostale 2003 Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, and was the BIG EAST's Co-Special Teams Player of the Year in 2002.

The academic success is not just limited to individual players under Schiano, but the entire team. In the NCAA's most recent report, released in May, the Rutgers football team tied for third in the nation with an APR score of 980 - the highest mark of any state university. Rutgers was the only institution in the nation to have its football team ranked in the top 10 percent of the APR and win a bowl game in each of the last two seasons. Achievement and success are nothing new to Schiano. Wherever he has been in his coaching career, success has followed. During Schiano's twoyear stint as defensive coordinator at Miami (1999-2000), the Hurricanes posted a 20-5 record, including an 11-1 mark, the No. 2 national ranking and the Sugar Bowl championship in 2000. The Hurricanes boasted one of the top scoring defenses in the nation in 2000, and were the stingiest defensive squad in the BIG EAST Conference.

HEAD COACH GREG SCHIANO “The difference is confidence. Rutgers comes in with the belief that they can play with any team in the nation. The big reason for that starts with their head coach, what he brings to the table and the confidence he instills in his team.”
- Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN College Football Analyst
Under Schiano, the Miami defense showed rapid and marked improvement in his two seasons as defensive coordinator. The 'Canes defense closed out the 1999 season by not allowing a passing touchdown in 27 quarters, and was 12th nationally in scoring defense (allowing 17.2 points per game). In 2000, Miami surrendered just 15.5 points per game, the fewest allowed by any team in the BIG EAST and No. 5 nationally.
“When I came to Rutgers, I was a boy. Now I'm a man. What Coach Schiano has done for me; I can't thank him enough.”
- Brian Leonard, former Rutgers running back and 2007 second-round draft pick. Prior to his assignment at Miami, Schiano spent three seasons in the NFL with the Chicago Bears (1996-98). Schiano was a defensive assistant in 1996-97, and was the defensive backfield coach in 1998. The 1997 Chicago Bears' third-down defense showed measurable improvement under Schiano's leadership, finishing first in the NFC and fourth in the NFL as opponents converted just 31.7% of their third-down attempts. In 1996, the Bears' pass defense climbed from 27th to 11th in fewest yards allowed. Schiano was defensive backfield coach at Penn State University from 199195. While at Penn State, the Nittany Lions had 58 wins and made six bowl appearances in his tenure. Overall, in nine seasons as an assistant on the collegiate level, Schiano's teams advanced to eight bowl games.
The 2009 Greg Schiano Golf Charity Golf Classic raised $75,000 for charity, including $25,000 each for The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Embrace Kids Foundation and Athletes in Action.
Schiano's first assignment as a coach in the college ranks came during the 1989 season, when he served as a graduate assistant coach at Rutgers, following a one-year stint as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Ramapo High School. Schiano was a standout linebacker at Ramapo, playing for Coach Mike Miello. After his initial stint at Rutgers in 1989, he moved on to Penn State as a graduate assistant coach in 1990. Schiano is a 1988 graduate of Bucknell University where he was a threeyear letterman at linebacker. He was named to The Sporting News All-America Preseason Team in 1987. He served as team captain his senior year and, as a junior, he topped the team with 114 tackles and was named all-conference. Schiano and his wife, Christy, are the proud parents of four children, Joey, John, Matt and Katie.

JAY BUTLER ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR STRENGTH & CONDITIONING HEAD FOOTBALL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH Jay Butler enters his fifth season as Assistant Director of Athletics for Strength and Conditioning and ninth overall as Head Football Strength and Conditioning Coach.
His vast knowledge in the areas of strength and conditioning has helped the Scarlet Knights make remarkable strides in the weight room and on the field.

KIRK CIARROCCA CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QUARTERBACKS Kirk Ciarrocca enters his second season as an assistant on the Rutgers football staff. Ciarrocca, after spending his first season as wide receivers coach, will transition to co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Ciarrocca held similar posts most recently at the University of Delaware during his six-year stint with the Blue Hens. Ciarrocca tutored a wide receiver corps last season that included alltime Rutgers and BIG EAST receiving leader Kenny Britt. Britt went on to become the Scarlet Knights’ first-ever first round selection in the 2009 NFL Draft. Joining him in the professional ranks was fellow wide receiver Tiquan Underwood as the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Underwood in the seventh round. In his six years at Delaware, the Blue Hens posted a combined record of 52-26, advanced to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs three times, and captured consecutive Atlantic 10 Conference titles in 2003 and 2004. Ciarrocca played an important role in mentoring a Blue Hen offense that helped Delaware post a 151 record and capture the NCAA FCS National Championship in 2003. Led by All-American quarterback Andy Hall, the Blue Hens led the Atlantic 10 Conference in scoring offense (34.7 ppg) and rushing offense (207.6) and ranked among the Top 20 nationally in both categories. The Blue Hen offensive unit was impressive again during the 2007 season when Delaware posted an 11-4 record and advanced to the NCAA FCS title game. Delaware, paced by consensus All-Americans in quarterback Joe Flacco, running back Omar Cuff, and offensive tackle Mike Byrne, led the Colonial Athletic Association in scoring (36.2 ppg), total offense (460.6), and passing offense (289.5). A first round selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, Flacco threw for over 4,000 yards in 2007, while Cuff set an NCAA FCS record with 39 total touchdowns. Both Flacco and Cuff each set numerous school single-game, season, and career marks under Ciarrocca’s tutelage. Ciarrocca, who earned his bachelor's degree from Temple in 1990 and his master of education degree from Temple in 1991, came to Delaware after serving the previous two seasons as wide receivers coach at the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn, he helped the Quakers post a record of 7-3 in 2000 and 8-1 in 2001. The Quakers were Ivy League Champions in 2000 and league runner-up in 2001, ranking among the national leaders in passing offense both seasons. Penn ranked No. 1 in NCAA FCS in team passing offense and fourth in total offense in 2000 and was fourth nationally in total offense in 2001. Prior to coaching at Penn, Ciarrocca served as receivers coach and junior varsity head coach at Princeton from 1996-99. A native of Lewisberry, Pa., Ciarrocca played defensive back at Red Land High School and at Juniata College before a knee injury ended his career. He transferred to Temple University where he received his degree in 1990. Ciarrocca began his coaching career as an assistant at Red Land High School and St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia before serving as a graduate assistant at Temple during the 1990 and 1991 seasons.

Flood welcomes the return of all five starters up front in 2009 and nine of the team’s top 10 offensive linemen from a year ago. In 2007, Flood tutored an offensive line that ranked second in the nation with just 10 sacks allowed. In addition, the Rutgers offense became the first in NCAA history to have a 3,000-yard passer, 2,000-yard rusher and two, 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. The Rutgers offense was ranked 18th nationally in total offense in 2007. The offensive line featured two of the top tackles in the nation in Pedro Sosa and Jeremy Zuttah. Both players earned All-BIG EAST honors and were also invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis with Zuttah becoming a third round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Offensive tackle Anthony Davis also received Freshman All-America accolades by five different media outlets and was a Rivals.com All-Bowl team selection. Flood added run game coordinator to his duties in 2007 and his offensive line helped pave the way for All-American running back Ray Rice, who rushed for a school and BIG EAST record 2,012 yards that season. Rice went on to be selected as the 55th overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. In 2006, Flood coached an offensive line that helped Rutgers to one of its most productive seasons as the group relinquished the fewest sacks in the nation with just eight. His unit was regarded as one of the best in the country and featured current NFL linemen Cameron Stephenson and Darnell Stapleton. Flood’s corps of hard-nosed blockers helped guide Rice to an All-America season, as he finished second in the nation with 1,794 yards. Flood came to Rutgers after three seasons at the University of Delaware, where he helped the Blue Hens to a 3011 record, including a 15-1 mark, the NCAA FCS National Championship in 2003 and a share of the Atlantic 10 title in 2004. In addition to serving as offensive line coach at Delaware, he was also assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator. In its national championship season, Flood's offensive line helped Delaware rank ninth nationally in scoring, 20th in rushing and 33rd in total offense. In his first season at Delaware (2002), the Blue Hens' offensive line allowed 15 sacks in 12 games, the lowest total allowed by a UD team since 1991. Prior to his three seasons at Delaware, Flood was offensive line coach at Hofstra from 1997-2001. While at Hofstra, he helped the Pride earn berths in the NCAA FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1999-2001.

He was named Recruiting Coordinator in February, 2004, and has served as tight ends coach since the 2003 season. He has served on the Rutgers staff since head coach Greg Schiano took over the program prior to the 2001 season. Susan has nearly 30 years of experience in the collegiate ranks, with stints as a head coach, offensive coordinator, offensive line coach, and tight ends coach. As recruiting coordinator, he has been integral in securing several highly-touted and nationally-ranked recruiting classes, including the 2009 group which was ranked in the Top 25 nationally by ESPN.com. Susan has directed a deep corps of tight ends that included former three-time All-BIG EAST selection Clark Harris, a seventh-round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers in 2007. Most recently, Susan watched as former Scarlet Knight tight end Kevin Brock signed a free agent contract with the Carolina Panthers in 2009. A native of South River, N.J., Susan returned to his New Jersey roots to join the Rutgers staff in 2001 after a memorable 2000 campaign, when he served as head coach at Davidson and led the Wildcats to a 10-0 record, the only unbeaten team in school history and a single-season record for wins. That year, the Football Championship Subdivision Independent Sports Information Directors Association named him Coach of the Year. In 2000, Susan received a Presidential Citation from the University of Delaware (his alma matter) for outstanding achievement. Prior to the undefeated season at Davidson, Susan spent nine years as offensive coordinator at Princeton (1991-99). He also served briefly as offensive line coach at Memphis, before accepting the challenge to become the head coach at Davidson. Susan was offensive line coach at Bucknell from 1981-88, when he took on the added responsibility as associate head coach for two seasons with the Bison. During his tenure at Bucknell, he recruited Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano to play for the Bison. Susan also recruited offensive lineman Jay Butler, who is presently the Scarlet Knights' Assistant Athletic Director and Head Strength and Conditioning coach. Susan enjoyed an outstanding playing career at Delaware (1973-76), as his teams compiled a 36-12-1 record in his tenure there. During his sophomore season, the Blue Hens were the NCAA Division II national runner-up. Susan began his career in coaching in 1978 at Delaware, as a graduate assistant. After a year as an assistant at Gettysburg, he returned to his alma mater for one season. Susan and his wife, Cynthia, are the parents of one son, Matthew, and daughters Jessica and Julia, who both attend Rutgers University.

The Scarlet Knights, 8-5 overall and 5-2 in the BIG EAST in 2008, have appeared in four consecutive bowl games and have won three straight bowl championships. Rutgers completed the dramatic turnaround in 2008 with a 29-23 victory over NC State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Streaking … • Rutgers’ seven-game winning streak is currently tied for the fourth longest in the nation. Current Longest Football Bowl Subdivision Winning Streaks • 1. Utah (14) • 2.

Starting a Bowl Tradition Before Greg Schiano’s arrival at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights played in one bowl game in 131 seasons of football. In eight seasons at the helm of the program, Schiano has guided Rutgers to four straight bowl games. • The Scarlet Knights are one of 31 teams to play in four consecutive bowls. Among BCS members, Rutgers is one of 21 schools to play in four straight bowl games and just one of three BIG EAST programs to play in four consecutive bowls (Rutgers, West Virginia, USF).

2008 SEASON REVIEW Offensive Explosion Rutgers has scored 201 points in its last four BIG EAST games, the most by a Scarlet Knight team over a four-game stretch in BIG EAST play. The Scarlet Knights posted 54 points in a 54-34 victory at Pittsburgh and one week later tallied 35 in a 35-17 triumph over Syracuse. In the USF victory, RU had 49 points. Last time out, RU scored the most points in any conference game in school history in a 63-14 rout of Louisville. In Rutgers’ 54-34 victory at No. 17 Pittsburgh on Oct. 25, the Scarlet Knights secured their first road victory over a ranked team since Sept. 24, 1988 at No. 15/13 Penn State (21-16 win). The 54 points scored were the most points scored against a nationally-ranked opponent on the road in Rutgers’ history. Record-Setting Night In the regular season-finale vs. Louisville, Rutgers rolled to a 63-14 victory over the Cardinals on Senior Night at Rutgers Stadium. Below are the records that were set in the game: • Mike Teel’s six first-half touchdowns were the most in a half of a BIG EAST game • Teel tied the BIG EAST and broke the Rutgers record with seven touchdowns in a game • Teel set the school record for passing yardage in a game with 447 • Teel became the alltime Rutgers touchdown passing leader with 57
TEEL
• The 671 yards of total offense against Louisville tied for the fifth-most in a BIG EAST game and were the most by a Greg Schiano team at RU
• The 11.4 yards per play (59 for 671) marked the best average in a game in BIG EAST history • 63 points was the most scored by RU in a league game • 49 first half points tied for the third-most points in a half in BIG EAST history and the most by RU in a first half of a league game • Kenny Britt became Rutgers’ single-season leader in receiving yards (1,252) and tied the school record for single-season receptions (81)
Record-Setting 2009 NFL Draft for Rutgers Rutgers All-America wide receiver Kenny Britt was selected with the 30th pick in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. Britt is the first player in Rutgers history to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The selection by Tennessee marked the third consecutive year that a Scarlet Knight was taken on the draft’s first day after Brian Leonard (2007) and Ray Rice (2008) were both second round draft McCOURTY selections. The record-setting 2009 NFL Draft for the Rutgers Football program continued on the draft’s final day as four players were selected, giving the Scarlet Knights a schoolrecord five draft selections. Quarterback Mike Teel and cornerback Jason McCourty were selected in the sixth round while safety Courtney Greene and wide receiver Tiquan Underwood were picked in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft. In the last three NFL Drafts, 10 Scarlet Knights have been selected, the most in a three-year span in school history. The five players selected in the 2009 draft set a new school record, breaking the old mark of three set in 2007 (Brian Leonard, Cameron Stephenson, Clark Harris). Teel was taken with the 178th pick by the Seattle Seahawks and was just the second Rutgers quarterback selected in the modern NFL Draft (since 1967). McCourty went with the 203rd pick of the draft to the Tennessee Titans, joining former Scarlet Knight and Titan firstround draft pick GREENE Kenny Britt in Nashville. Greene joined Teel in Seattle as the Seahawks selected the four-year starter with the 245th selection of the draft. Underwood was taken with the 253rd pick by the Jaguars to close out Rutgers’ record day. Teel, McCourty, Greene and Underwood were captains for the Scarlet Knights in 2008. Teel also served as one of the team captains as a junior in 2007.

RICHARD L. McCORMICK PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Richard L. McCormick is the 19th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. A scholar of American political history who began his academic career on the Rutgers faculty, he returned as president in 2002 after serving as provost of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and president of the University of Washington. Dr. McCormick’s goal is to advance Rutgers within the top tier of American public research universities. His ambitions for the university include an enriched learning experience for every student; teaching and research focused on global human problems; diversity of students, faculty, staff, and programs; and deeper connections with the people of New Jersey. President McCormick led a major restructuring and reinvigoration of undergraduate education at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the university’s largest campus. The plan, approved in 2006, merged four undergraduate colleges into a School of Arts and Sciences, expanded access to academic programs and learning communities, and established a popular First-Year Seminar program that offers more than 100 courses – each with no more than 20 students – on a wide range of topics taught by top faculty. Other initiatives undertaken during Dr. McCormick’s tenure include: • Establishment of the first-ever universitywide alumni body, the Rutgers University Alumni Association. • Rutgers Against Hunger, an initiative that combines volunteerism, research, education, and donations to address food security in the state of New Jersey. • The Rutgers Future Scholars Program, a pilot project to encourage minority and low-income teenagers from the university’s host cities to pursue higher education by offering mentorship and college preparation support, and the promise of free tuition to those admitted to Rutgers. • Rutgers-Camden’s first-ever doctoral-level academic program, a Ph.D. in childhood studies – the first in the nation in this emerging discipline. • Establishment of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Rutgers-Newark’s first new school in more than three decades. Born in 1947, President McCormick earned a B.A. in American studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1976. He is married to Joan Barry McCormick, RU ’88. She is a Vice President at the Saint Peter’s Healthcare System in New Brunswick. Dr. McCormick has two children, Betsy and Michael.
149 A BRIEF HISTORY
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick. Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers. Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924. In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women (later Douglass College and now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey. A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged. In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world. A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences. With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. University-wide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century. Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university's goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.

TIM
PERNETTI
DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come fullcircle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former studentathlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on February 26, 2009. He will oversee 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has 212 employees and an annual budget of approximately $56 million, roughly 3 percent of the university’s total $1.8 billion budget. Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995. Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports. Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008. Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10. Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the BIG EAST Conference. In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online.
Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action. Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences. As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio. A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

THE FIRST FOOTBALL GAME
Rutgers and Princeton played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4. The game was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players. At 3 p.m. on that memorable afternoon, the 50 competitors and about 100 spectators gathered on the field. To distinguish themselves from the bareheaded visitors, 50 Rutgers students, including players, donned scarlet-colored scarves which they converted into turbans. Events leading up to the game were described by John W. Herbert, Rutgers ’72, who was one of the players: “To appreciate this game to the fullest you must know something of its background,” Herbert wrote in 1933. “The two colleges were, and still are, of course, about 20 miles apart. The rivalry between them was intense. For years each had striven for possession of an old Revolutionary cannon, making night forays and lugging it back and forth time and again. Not long before the first football game, the canny Princetonians had settled this competition in their own favor by ignominiously sinking the gun in several feet of concrete. In addition to this, I regret to report, Princeton had beaten Rutgers in baseball by the harrowing score of 40-2. Rutgers longed for a chance to square things.” A challenge for the game was issued by Rutgers. Three games were to be played that year. The first, played at New Brunswick, was won by Rutgers. Princeton won the second game, but cries of “over-emphasis” prevented the third game in football's first year when faculties of both institutions protested on the grounds that the games were interfering with student studies.
An analytical account of the game appeared in the November, 1869 issue of the Targum, Rutgers’ undergraduate newspaper. “To describe the varying fortunes of the match, game by game, would be a waste of labor for every game was like the one before,” wrote the student reporter. “There was the same headlong running, wild shouting, and frantic kicking. “To sum up, Princeton had the most muscle, but didn't kick very well, and wanted organization. They evidently don't like to kick the ball on the ground. Our men, on the other hand, though comparatively weak, ran well, and kicked well throughout. But their great point was the organization, for which great praise is due to the captain. The right men were always in the right place.” One of the Princeton players, William Preston Lane, in 1933 contended in a newspaper interview that Rutgers “ran us Princeton men out of town. I never found out why they did that,” he related. “But we don't ask any questions. When we saw them coming after us, we ran to the outskirts of New Brunswick and got into our carriages and wagons and went away as fast as we could.” Lane's contention is refuted in the Targum account. “After the match the players had an amicable "feed together," the paper reported. "At 8 o'clock our guests went home, in high good spirits, thirsting to beat us next time, if they can.” Regardless of what actually happened after the first game, football was here to stay. Rutgers got Columbia University started in the grid sport the following season and in a few years most of the colleges and universities in the East were represented on the gridiron.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL The following is excerpted from an article that was written by John Bruns, former long-time sports writer for the Home News, and current sports writer for the Easton Times-Express. When Rutgers defeated Princeton in the first intercollegiate football game ever played in 1869, the setting was quite different than it is today. The game was contested on a field along College Avenue in New Brunswick. There weren’t tens of thousands of cheering fans in a multi-million dollar stadium. There was no manicured grass field or electronic scoreboard. There was no elaborate athletic equipment or television cameras. But on that fall day in 1869, those students established a tradition of quality football programs, competitiveness and school spirit that continues at Rutgers, the birthplace of intercollegiate football. Rutgers won six of 10 games in 1882, but played only one game in 1885. Similarly, the Scarlet Knights went 8-6 in 1891, but two years later played only four games. By the early 1900’s, scheduling had become more consistent and football became more popular across the country. The eight wins of 1891 weren’t matched until Rutgers went 8-1 in 1947 with one of the most successful teams of coach Harvey Harman in the Golden Era immediately following World War II. That team, quarterbacked by Frank Burns, who would later become Rutgers’ most successful coach, lost its opener to Columbia and then swept through eight straight opponents. In 1913, coach George Foster Sanford began a tradition of success among Rutgers coaches in their inaugural year by leading his team to a 6-3 mark. He then flirted with two perfect seasons, improving the team to 7-1 in 1915 and 7-1-1 in 1917. Those two seasons, which featured All-American Paul Robeson, were among Rutgers’ best. Sanford, a member of Rutgers’ Hall of Fame, also helped to introduce Rutgers to the New York metropolitan area, playing games at the Polo Grounds against teams like Notre Dame, Nebraska, Louisiana State and West Virginia. A few years later, in 1924, twotime All-American end and fullback Homer Hazel helped coach John Wallace continue the tradition of first-year coaching success, as Rutgers posted a 7-1-1 mark. Harvey Harman also had a successful first season, going 7-1 in 1938, the year Rutgers dedicated the original Rutgers Stadium. Rutgers won the dedication game, 20-18, over Princeton. Harman, however, was replaced by former coach Harry Rockafeller during World War II. His tenure included an 8-1 season in 1947 when Rutgers, dominated by WWII veterans, registered a combined record of 27-7 from 1945-48. When John Stiegman coached Rutgers from 1956-59, he brought back the single-wing formation to the Scarlet Knight offense, and led Rutgers to an 8-1 mark in 1958. The only loss of that season, 13-12 to the Quantico Marines, came when All-American tailback Billy Austin had to miss a game due to a broken hand. Another first-year coach got off to an impressive start when John Bateman went 8-1 in 1960. That campaign was followed by Rutgers’ first undefeated season in 1961, when the team went 9-0, capping the season with a fourthquarter, 25-point comeback win over Columbia. That team included All-American center Alex Kroll, and was ranked 15th nationally. In his 11 seasons, Bateman led Rutgers to 73 wins in 124 games. In 1973, Frank Burns took the reins of Rutgers football and became the most successful Rutgers coach ever by building teams recognized for fundamentals and defense. Burns himself was also known as a fierce linebacker and won the Most Valuable Player Award in the 1949 College All-Star game, when he made
17 tackles against the New York Giants. The Burns defenses were led by linebackers Ed Steward, Jim Hughes, Jim Dumont and defensive end Nate Toran. Burns’ first team went 6-5, while running back “JJ” Jennings set single-season records for rushing yardage (1,353) and touchdowns (21) that still stand. Over the next five seasons, Burns’ teams won at least seven games each season, including a five-season stretch from 1975-79 when Rutgers’ winning percentage was .803 with a record of 45-11. The jewel in the crown of Burns’ tenure as Rutgers’ coach was the 1976 season, when the team was perfect at 11-0, establishing the best season ever at Rutgers. During Burns’ 11 seasons at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights won nearly two-thirds of their games (78-44). He also took Rutgers to its first bowl appearance, the Garden State Bowl, at Giants Stadium against Arizona State in 1978. Doubtless, the biggest win of the Burns era was the 13-7 upset of Tennessee on November 3, 1979 at Knoxville. Burns called it “the greatest of my coaching career.” The following year, 1980, Rutgers had one of its great “near-misses” of its long history when the Scarlet bowed, 17-13, to a highly-favored and No. 1-ranked Alabama team coached by Bear Bryant at Giants Stadium. In a post game comment, Bear Bryant said, “We didn’t beat Rutgers. All I can say is we won.” In 1984 when Dick Anderson was named head coach, a renewed commitment to football at Rutgers was backed by a $3 million state-funded package. Those funds helped finance the artificial surface practice fields, the practice “Bubble” and the Hale Center, which includes lockerrooms, offices, a weight-training area and medical facilities for the football team. Anderson won seven of 10 games in his inaugural season and his teams produced some of the most exciting players in Rutgers history, including record-breaking passer Scott Erney, career tackles leader Tyronne Stowe and career kickoff return leader Eric Young. Doug Graber became the Scarlet Knights’ 23rd coach in 1990 and placed an emphasis on recruiting the best talent in the state of New Jersey. His first recruiting class included three first-team All-State selections and two second-team All-State selections among the 12 recruits from New Jersey. Another major boost for Rutgers came in 1991 when it joined the BIG EAST Football Conference. The team went 13-9 in its first two years in the BIG EAST, including a 4-2 BIG EAST mark in 1992, before slipping to 4-7 the following season. The 1994 season celebrated not only the 125 years of college football, but also the return of the newly-renovated and expanded Rutgers Stadium. A new stadium has been quite a different setting than that of the first college football game played over 130 years ago. The Scarlet Knights are playing for their own place in history as they continue the college football tradition that was born “On the Banks of the Old Raritan.” After a less than stellar run through the mid-1990’s under 1998 BIG EAST coach of the year Terry Shea, the Scarlet Knights opted to take the program in a different direction. On December 1, 2000, then Director of Athletics Bob Mulcahy introduced the newest coach in the storied history of Rutgers Football - Greg Schiano. Under Schiano’s leadership, ‘it’s time’ for Rutgers Football to regain the nation’s attention.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME PAUL ROBESON
Paul Robeson played four years for the famous coach, G. Foster Sanford. Rutgers had a 22-6-3 record in that time. In 31 games, Rutgers scored 941 points to opponents’ 191. Robeson was a powerful contributor to that record.... Robeson was a two-time All-America end. Frank Menke named him All-America in 1917 and 1918. Walter Camp picked him in 1918. (Camp did not name an All-America team in 1917.) Following college, Robeson played three years as a pro - 1920 with Hammond, 1921 with Akron and 1922 with Milwaukee - in the American Professional Football League... He obtained his law degree in 1923. At Rutgers, Robeson was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was valedictorian of the class of 1919. He won the college oratorical contest four straight years and gave the commencement address at graduation. Robeson won 12 letters in four sports - four in football, three each in basketball and baseball, and two in track. He stood 6-3 in height and his weight was listed at 191 in early years, at 215 his senior season. This man of many talents became an actor, singer and lecturer. He was on Broadway and in the movies. His rich basso made his signature song “Ol’ Man River” a classic. He starred in plays, such as “The Emporer Jones”, “Othello”, “Showboat”, as well as many others, in the U.S., Europe and Africa. In 1925 he made a recording that sold 55,000 copies in four months. In 1972 he received the Whitney Young Memorial Award. Ebony Magazine called him “one of the 10 most important black men in American history.”... Paul Robeson was born April 9, 1898, in Princeton, N.J. His father, Rev. William Robeson, had escaped slavery in 1860 in North Carolina at age 15. His mother, Maria Bustill, was a teacher. When Paul was a high school senior, he won the statewide academic test and received a scholarship to Rutgers. In 1915 he was the third black to enter Rutgers and the first to play football. He died January 23, 1976. A true renaissance man, Robeson won 12 letters in four sports at Rutgers - four in football, three each in basketball and baseball, and two in track. After his tenure at Rutgers, he became an accomplished actor, singer and lecturer, and was recently commemorated on a US postal stamp.
ALEX KROLL
Alex Kroll, a consensus All-American center on Rutgers’ first undefeated football team in 1961, is the Scarlet Knights’ sixth inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame, as a part of the Class of 1997. Kroll followed end Paul Robeson, halfback Homer Hazel and coaches George Foster Sanford and Harvey Harman into this most cherished of college football’s honors. Former athletic director George Little is also among the alltime honorees. Kroll, a 6-2, 228-pound center and linebacker, was a major force in Rutgers compiling a 17-1 record in his two years of play “On the Banks.” In 1960, the Knights under coach John Bateman were 8-1 and followed up with the school’s first undefeated campaign, going 9-0 in 1961. Team captain of the lauded 1961 squad, Kroll was a twotime first-team All-ECAC choice and won first-team AllAmerican honors from Associated Press, United Press International, Newspaper Enterprise Association, Look, and the American Football Coaches Association. Known as a “coach on the field,” he was credited with making the quarterback sneak an offensive weapon as Rutgers scored seven TDs on that play in 1961 with Kroll clearing the way into the endzone for the signal-caller. He was also a first-team All-East choice by the AP in 1961 and played in the North-South game and the Senior Bowl. In 1960, he was an honorable mention All-American. Following his senior season, he was a second-round draft pick of the New York Titans, playing for one season in 1962. Kroll earned a BA in English Literature in 1962 and was a Henry Rutgers Scholar with a perfect grade point average in his major. He received a National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Post-Graduate Scholarship in 1961. In 1986, he was awarded the Silver Anniversary Award from the National Collegiate Athletic Association for his collegiate achievements. Immediately following his last game with the Titans, he joined the workforce at Young & Rubicam, the world’s largest independent advertising agency, as a copywriter. After a succession of writing and supervisory jobs in the creative department, he was named executive vice president and worldwide creative director in 1970. He was named president and chief operating officer in 1982 and, four years later, Kroll became chairman of Young & Rubicam. He is retired but still serves as Chairman Emeritus of Young & Rubicam. He resides in Charlotte, VT, with his wife, Phyllis. They have three children.
HARVEY HARMAN
Few men loved the game with the fervor of Harvey Harman, a huge man with a grand smile and a fierce dedication to the sport. A former president of the American Football Coaches Association, Harman received that group’s Amos Alonzo Stagg Award, symbolic of outstanding service to the profession. It was not surprising that Harman achieved such acclaim, for he learned his football lessons from two of the game’s mentors - Glenn “Pop” Warner and Jock Sutherland - while at Pittsburgh. Harman was a starting tackle for the Panthers before taking his first coaching assignment at Haverford. From there he moved on to Sewanee (the University of the South), Pennsylvania and Rutgers. It was at Rutgers that he had his greatest success, directing the Scarlet Knights to a 26-7-1 record before interrupting his career to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Harman returned to Rutgers after the war and led the Scarlet Knights for another 10 seasons before accepting a position as Executive Director of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, Inc. In that capacity, Harman became known as the goodwill ambassador for football, continuing to serve the game until his death in 1969. His career record lists a slate of 140104-7.
HOMER HAZEL
He parted his dark hair down the middle, in the fashion of the day, and his deep-set eyes glowed with a competitive fire. Homer Hazel, Rutgers’ first Hall of Famer, was, without doubt, the most versatile player the Scarlet ever produced. A natural athlete, Hazel excelled in various sports and was most successful as a track and field star. His speed and quickness served him well, for he once recovered his own kickoff in the enemy end zone for a touchdown. Homer led Rutgers to identical 7-1-1 records in his final two seasons, earning All-America laurels in each. He was an end in 1923, when the only Scarlet loss was to West Virginia (27-7). He had Rutgers on the way to an unbeaten finish in 1924 - this time as a hardhitting fullback - when Bucknell untracked the Scarlet in the final game of the season, 12-7. During the 1924 campaign, Homer Hazel established school records for most points after a touchdown and longest completed pass. He could do it all. Carrying 226 pounds over a 5-foot-11 frame, Homer lettered in football, basketball, baseball and track at Rutgers. He later served as Athletic Director, football and basketball coach at the University of Mississippi for more than five years. He was a golf pro for four years, and a labor relations manager for more than 20 years. Hazel won his first letter in football at Rutgers in 1916. He left school because of a lack of funds. Hazel worked at various jobs and, at age 28, played football again at Rutgers. Walter Camp named him All-America end in 1923, All-America fullback in 1924. Hazel was born June 2, 1895, and died February 3, 1968.
GEORGE LITTLE
A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, George Little opened his coaching career at the University of Cincinnati and produced a two-year record of 10-8-0 before moving up the road to Oxford, Ohio, home of the Miami Redskins, in 1916. There, Little brought the Redskins their first Conference Championship and a 7-0-1 mark. After service in World War I, Little returned to Miami and directed the Red and White to yet another league crown and a threeyear post-war record of 20-3-1. He also coached the Miami basketball and track teams, claiming a conference crown in the latter sport. The 1922 and 1923 seasons found Little at Michigan under head coach Fielding Yost, the man he replaced in 1924. That year, Little’s Wolverines were 6-2. The next season, Little was in Wisconsin as the new Athletic Director and head coach of the Badgers, and he led his charges to a two-year mark of 11-3-2. His teams displayed imagination and strength on offense, a unique ruggedness on defense. Little wound up his collegiate career as the Athletic Director at Rutgers, and then served as executive secretary of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame.
GEORGE FOSTER SANFORD
At the entrance to Rutgers Stadium, inscribed upon a bronze plaque, is a tribute to George Sanford. It was financed and installed by his players, the men “...he inspired to deeds beyond themselves.” Undoubtedly, Sanford was an inspirational leader of men, a gentleman who excelled as both player and coach. Sanford played center on the 1891 and 1892 Yale teams which held each of of their 26 opponents scoreless. Though he was never chosen to an All-America team, a 1927 poll named him the all-time Yale center. Sanford began his coaching career at Columbia (1899-1901), called in to revive the football program which had been abandoned after the 1891 campaign. His 1899 team defeated Yale for the first time ever, and it was at Columbia that Sanford developed the famous “Flying Hurdle Play” which saw Harold Weekes catapulted over the scrimmage line. Moving to Rutgers (1913-23), Sanford had marked success as his club rolled to a 56-32-5 record. He was hailed as a “miracle worker” in 1917, after his Rutgers team beat the heavily-favored Newport Naval Reserve All-Stars, 14-0. Between his teams at Columbia and Rutgers, Sanford devoted his energy toward a successful insurance brokerage business.

RUTGERS STADIUM The following excerpt came from the game program of the first game played in the “New� Rutgers Stadium, on September 3, 1994. Written by former Sports Information Director Bob Smith, this story chronicles the history of Rutgers Football and the stadium(s) it called home. Far removed from midwestern corn fields where Hollywood created a baseball dream, Rutgers realized a football dream when the new Rutgers Stadium opened for the 1994 season. The completion of the stadium, expanded to accommodate 41,500 fans, coincided neatly with the celebration of the 125th year of the game which, Rutgers and Princeton inaugurated in 1869. The new stadium, financed by a New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority bond issue proposal, which was approved by the legislature and then Governor Jim Florio in January of 1992, was kicked off officially on March 9, 1993. The historic groundbreaking ceremony drew over 500 as a host of state dignitaries spoke glowingly of the meaning for the University and the state. The stadium project would include expansion to nearly 42,000 seats with all the amenities of a first-class facility. Permanent lights, lit to a level of 150 foot-candles, will make possible night games and television broadcast. A two-tiered press box seats over 200. The main concourse includes eight concession stands and the stadium will be equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system. A huge, new scoreboard towers over the south endzone. At the groundbreaking ceremony, then-governor Jim Florio said "there is no doubt that what is good for Rutgers is good for New Jersey." Rutgers president Francis L. Lawrence noted that "this grand old stadium...has been of great service to the people of New Jersey and this new project will provide 800 jobs in New Jersey. New Jersey is a great state that deserves the best in every aspect, in every area, including athletics." Athletic Director Fred Gruninger called the event a "real happening." One hundred and twenty-five years ago on November 6, 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played the first intercollegiate football game in New Brunswick on College Field, which is now the site of the College Avenue Gymnasium and its parking lot. And, while Rutgers won that initial contest, 6-4, Princeton would dominate the early days of this intrastate rivalry. The Tigers won the second game at home a week later and went on to win the next 24 games through 1897, holding the Scarlet Knights scoreless in 22 of the 25 victories. Getting together again in 1911, Princeton added five more wins before the series lapsed in 1915. A leap of 18 years, a tumultuous time in this country's history, elapsed before the next meeting, but the pattern did not change as Princeton took the 1933, 1935, 1936 and 1937 games, all on its home grounds, as were all but six of the 34 games. Those six games had been played at the site of the original game, College Field, where contests were staged through 1891, after which Neilson Field became the home of the Scarlet until 1938. The stage was set for "the game that would live forever" (according to Jimmie Fleming, sports editor of the New Brunswick Home News) and a game that a New York news commentator rated one of the four principal historical events of 1938, along with the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, the Munich agreement and the wars in China and Spain. But, the story began a few years earlier.

Through the presidency of John Martin Thomas (1925-30) and the brief 18month tenure of Philip Milledoler Brett, Rutgers experienced a severe identity crisis. "For a quarter of a century," wrote historian Richard P. McCormick, "Rutgers had been in the throes of transformation from a small college to a multi-dimensional university, from an essentially private institution to an instrumentality of the state." That drama would continue even while the athletic picture began to improve. It would play itself out against a background generally called the Great Depression. Robert C. Clothier was named president in December, 1931, and George E. Little became the athletic director in April, 1932. It is with these two visionaries that the story of Rutgers Stadium begins. Both saw that the effectiveness of the instruction in physical education was being seriously hampered by lack of space and deteriorating facilities. Neilson Field, the football home site that had replaced College Field and the home of the Rutgers football since 1892, was in disrepair. Though indoor facilities were sufficient (College Avenue Gymnasium was completed in January 1932 and held athletic contests as well as a concert by Paul Robeson ('19) but if the overall program was to be strengthened, space had to be found. Feeling that the University had weathered the initial phases of the Depression, Clothier dispatched Little on a survey of suitable land and on November 7, 1934, the determined athletic director recommended the purchase of a tract of land covering 256 acres across the Raritan River that included the disbanded New Brunswick Country Club golf course and the Adrian Vermeule properties. The Board of Trustees, noting that it was a daring move, nevertheless adopted the proposal and bought the land for less than $100,000. Though the stadium area, a natural ravine, was included in the purchase, the original proposal did not include construction of a stadium. The development of the area would provide recreational areas for students and considerable acreage for future needs. The Federal government approved an initial grant of $320,000 on November 13, 1935, and work men began the enormous job of developing the River Road campus. The project was to carry a cost of $418,514 with the University contributing $98,390. It would provide work for 387 workers for one year. A year later, November, 1936, a second Works Progress Administration grant of $143,841 was approved with Rutgers adding $107,530. In January, 1938, an additional grant of $237,000 was made by the WPA which brought the total of the three grants to $995,707 while Rutgers had appropriated $239,000, including the cost of the site. All this played out against the background of the Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt's Second New Deal had created the Works Progress Administration, a massive relief program that derived from the administration's belief that "human dignity was diminished under direct relief programs but enriched by programs that provided work in exchange for relief." Though controversial, the WPA program was far more comprehensive than earlier relief efforts. The program would spend more than $411 billion before it was canceled in 1943. According to historian Edward Ellis, the WPA, employing more than 8.5 million people on nearly a million and a half projects, "built 651,087 miles of highways, roads and streets; constructed, repaired or improved 124,031 bridges; erected 124,110 public buildings; created 8,192 public parks; built or improved 853 airports."

RUTGERS STADIUM The "big mud hole," after three years of construction and an even longer period of research and planning, was a transformed marvel. The Class of 1939, dubbed "The Stadium Class," would honor Little by dedicating its yearbook to him. The dedication reads, in part, "We acclaim all that George Little has done - Sponsored large-scale intramurals to provide 'athletics for all' - conceived and developed a vast athletic plant...traveled, dreamed, and fought for Rutgers...thoughtful, creative, impulsive, dynamic, generous - bubbling over with ideas and enthusiasm - unflagging in labor and effort - a champion of progress." A plaque in Little's honor would later adorn the stadium entrance beneath the press box. The 1938 season would open not only with a new stadium but also with a new coach. Upon the resignation of J. Wilder Tasker, who had been the head coach since 1931, Harvey Harman took over the reins. Arriving from the University of Pennsylvania, one of his first efforts, in concert with President Clothier and athletic director Little, was to have Princeton agree to shift the game from Palmer Stadium. The Tigers had not visited the Rutgers campus since 1888 and a span of 17 games, but they agreed to make the short trip on November 5, the seventh game of the season for the Scarlet. The Rutgers-Princeton clash would come one day short of the 69 years since the historic first intercollegiate game between the teams. It would fall also on Harman's 38th birthday. Rutgers opened the season with four games on Neilson Field defeating Marietta (20-0) and Vermont (15-14) before losing to NYU (25-6) and then edging Springfield, 6-0. The first game in the new stadium was against Hampden-Sydney before an estimated crowd of 10,000. Rutgers took an early 7-0 lead on a Burt Hasbrouck two-yard run and Len Cooke added the extra point for the first scores in the stadium. The game's most exciting play came after the Scarlet took a 26-0 halftime lead. Art Gottlieb hit Moon Mullen on a short pass at the Rutgers 43-yard line and the senior end raced 57 yards for the game's final score. A Hampden-Sydney threat was turned away on a Gottlieb interception in the Scarlet end zone at the end of the third period and the final score was Rutgers 32, Hampden-Sydney 0. At halftime of the Dedication game, Judge George H. Lane, the sole Rutgers survivor of the first contest in 1869, would be honored. On a sad note, William Preston Lane, the only Princeton survivor of the first game, passed away that very morning. The first-half play, before a crowd of 22,500, had been as masterful as the words. But, in the halftime dressing room, the Scarlet squad, at an 18-13 deficit, wondered if the 69-year-old jinx would continue to hold. One writer's account of the game imagined that "Over them hung the most grotesque hoodoo in the history of football." Down 18-7, Rutgers stormed back as Herm Greif, who had worked on the WPA crew three years before, replaced Gottlieb and quickly completed a pass to Joe Varju who was tackled at the Princeton one-yard line with just 59 seconds remaining in the half. After three passes, Greif ran for the score to bring the Scarlet to within five points at halftime. The day deserved a storybook ending and that was to follow. Princeton penetrated to the Rutgers 15-yard line in the third period but the drive was
stopped by the Scarlet. The game's golden moment came with five minutes remaining. Rutgers center Doug Hotchkiss recovered a Princeton fumble at the Tiger 12. But, in two plays, Rutgers had lost 10 yards. Gottlieb and Tranavitch combined on a nine-yard pass completion and, on fourth down, Gottlieb found Mullen at the goal line for the go-ahead score. The extra point by Walt Bruyere was good, Rutgers had taken a 20-18 lead. The ensuing Princeton possession saw the Tigers take to the air, but Mullen shut down the drive at the Rutgers 30 with an interception. That left time for only a last line plunge and the game was over, the hex was gone. Rutgers had defeated Princeton for the first time in 69 years. The 1938 Dedication game was certainly of storybook stature, but there have been many more that rival that first contest. None more so, perhaps, than that on another Princeton visit. Never has there been such preparation for a game in Rutgers Stadium that there was for the Centennial contest in 1969. All the elements of great sports drama were there - proclamations were issued; a special commemorative stamp was issued; a re-enactment of the first game drew 10,000 fans; pennants from some 350 football-playing colleges waved above the stands; an unscheduled protest march by Afro-Americans; introductions of celebrities, including the oldest living Rutgers football captain, William VB Van Dyck and Master of Ceremonies, Ozzie Nelson; the coin toss, or rather the three coin tosses, first with a 1869 silver dollar and then with a pair of Centennial medallions. The game would be the first Rutgers home football contest ever televised as Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson manned the ABC booth. A crowd of 31,000 was on hand for the game, the largest in Scarlet history to that point, and later eclipsed only by the 31,219 for the Rutgers-Temple game in 1988, a Homecoming affair. Princeton provided the game's opening salvo as Robinson Bordley returned the kickoff 63 yards to the Scarlet 24-yard line. Rutgers successfully repulsed the attack. Both teams missed field goal tries, but, after an interference call at midfield, Rutgers took a 7-0 lead on Rich Policastro's rollout and Chris Stewart's PAT near the end of the first period. The Scarlet upped the lead to 21-0 by halftime on a Bruce Van Ness TD and Bob Stonebraker's reception from Policastro. Rutgers scored again on a 27-yard Mike Yancheff-to-Joe Barone pass, and, because the goal posts had already been dismantled, the Scarlet scored on a two-point conversion by Yanceff. The 29 points were the highest ever recorded by a Rutgers team against Princeton. The victory was Rutgers 10th in the 60-game series. The teams would go into their second centuries, once again having made football history.

BOWL HISTORY 1978 GARDEN STATE BOWL
EAST RUTHERFORD - In its first postseason action in program history, Rutgers faced Arizona State at Giants Stadium in the inaugural Garden State Bowl in 1978. The Scarlet Knights pulled ahead in the first half on a touchdown by David Dorn and field goal from Kennan Startzell to take a 10-0 lead. However, the Sun Devils closed the gap just before the end of the first half when Mark Malone found Bob Weathers in the end zone. In the third quarter, Arizona State claimed the lead with two Malone touchdown passes and in the final quarter added another score with a rushing TD to make the score 2810. Ted Blackwell brought the Scarlet Knights to within 10 points with his five-yard rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion. Rutgers had a final chance to take over the game when an offside kick came bouncing its way, but an offside flag on the kickoff erased the Scarlet Knights good fortune. Arizona State tacked on two touchdowns to secure the 34-18 victory.
2005 INSIGHT BOWL
PHOENIX - Rutgers and Arizona State met for the second time in a bowl game, this time at Phoenix's Chase Field. The Scarlet Knights came up just short in the contest, losing 45-40 to the Sun Devils. RU scored the game's first touchdown on a pass from Ryan Hart to Clark Harris, but ASU quickly responded with a TD of its own, evening the game at 7-7. Both teams traded a number of scores but back-to-back touchdowns in the fourth quarter helped ASU to a 45-33 lead and the eventual victory. Rutgers engineered a 63-yard TD drive in the final 51 seconds, but it was not enough as the Sun Devils held on for the 45-40 win.
2006 TEXAS BOWL
HOUSTON - Rutgers' most memorable season ended with the program's biggest milestone - the first bowl victory in the history of Scarlet Knight football. Ray Rice rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown, while Tim Brown hauled in two TD passes as the 16th-ranked Scarlet Knights defeated Kansas State 37-10. Rice eventually went on to be named the Texas Bowl's Most Valuable Player. In the first quarter, Mike Teel hit Brown in the end zone on a 14-yard touchdown pass and the pair later connected, this time with a 49-yard strike to give Rutgers a 14-0 lead. Jeremy Ito sent a 37-yard field goal through the uprights with less than a minute remaining in the first half to take a 17-10 lead at halftime. In the opening minute of the third quarter, Rutgers extended its lead on an interception returned for a touchdown by Quintero Frierson. The Scarlet Knights scored the final 23 points of the game as Rice added a 46-yard touchdown run and Ito converted a pair of field goals to give RU the 37-10 victory.
2008 INTERNATIONAL BOWL
TORONTO - In its third-consecutive bowl game, Rutgers pulled off another program milestone with its second-straight postseason victory as the Scarlet Knights defeated Ball State 52-30. Ray Rice had one of the finest individual outings in college football history, rushing for a career-high 280 yards and four touchdowns en route to being named the International Bowl's Most Valuable Player, his second-consecutive MVP honor in a bowl game. Rice's 280 yards were the third-most rushing yards in NCAA Bowl history. He entered the game with 1,732 yards on the ground and ended his season with 2,012 yards rushing to become the 13th player in NCAA history to amass more than 2,000 yards. The rushing total also set a BIG EAST and school single-season record. The 52 points scored were the most in Rutgers' bowl history. Including both individual and team marks, RU set a total of nine bowl records at the International Bowl.
2008 PAPAJOHNS.COM BOWL
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Fitting that Rutgers would end the 2008 season with a come-from-behind win. After winning only one of their first six games, Mike Teel and the Scarlet Knights erased an 11-point second half deficit to defeat North Carolina State 29-23 in the Papajohns.com Bowl. Leading the comeback -- as he did all season -- was Teel, who passed for 319 yards and two touchdowns, including a 42-yard scoring toss to Kenny Britt to give the Scarlet Knights (8 -5) the lead for good in the fourth quarter. Teel's pass to Britt with 8:30 to play proved to be the winning touchdown. Britt, a third-team All-American, made a juggling catch as he crossed the goal line and finished with six catches for 119 yards. Teel, a senior, was the game's most valuable player. He ended his career on a sevengame winning streak after being booed at home when he was struggling earlier in the season. NC State (6-7) held a 17-6 halftime edge, led by quarterback Russell Wilson who was 11-for-23 for 186 yards and a score. But Wilson left the game with a strained knee late in the first half and did not return. The Scarlet Knights scored 10 consecutive points in the third quarter on a 31-yard field goal by San San Te and an 11-yard pass from Teel to Tiquan Underwood. Rutgers took a 19-17 lead with 13:31 to play on a 28-yard field by Te after a 10-play 70-yard drive. The Wolfpack came right back as reserve quarterback Daniel Evans drove them 64 yards in eight plays and hit Anthony Hill with a 16-yard touchdown pass to give NC State a 23-19 lead. But it was only two plays later when Teel hit Britt for the go-ahead score.

WHY SCARLET? Rutgers was a pioneer in establishing a college color, and a pioneer in using a color on the sporting field. The color scarlet was first proposed in the campus newspaper, The Targum, in May of 1869. It was adopted shortly thereafter. This color was chosen because it is a striking color and because good scarlet ribbon could be easily obtained. From the time of its choice by the students, scarlet has been the Rutgers color. College and university colors and coats of arms were not unusual in the Old World, but had been little-used in the New World. They came into large and vivid use only when athletics began to take rigorous hold in this country. In the historic first college football game Nov. 6, 1869, the Princeton team members watched the Rutgers men don turbans and kerchiefs as close to scarlet as possible for team identification. Even without scarlet shirts, the headgear alone had added another “first” -- the custom of wearing caps of a team’s college, one long-copied over the years of football uniform development. Sports lore at Rutgers has also known such terms as “Scarlet Scourge” and the lasting “Upstream Rutgers!” from the first big-time grid venture under George Foster Sanford. Through the years, scarlet has become embodied in the literature and songs of the college. Scarlet is identified with its sons and daughters, and is highly emblematic of the school itself. WHY KNIGHTS? Since the days when the school was officially known as Queens College, the athletic teams were referred to as the Queensmen. Officially serving as the mascot figure for several football seasons beginning in 1925 was a giant, colorfully felt-covered, costumed representation of an earlier campus symbol, the Chanticleer. Though a fighting bird of the kind other schools have found success with, to some the Chanticleer bore the connotation of “chicken.” The Chanticleer remained as the mascot, and Queensmen as the nickname, for some 30 years. In the early 1950s, in the hope of spurring both the all-around good athletic promise and fighting spirit of Rutgers’ teams, a campus-wide selection process changed the mascot to that of a Knight. By 1955, the Scarlet Knights had become the new Rutgers mascot. The Scarlet-garbed knight, riding a spirited white charger, came to represent a new era -- the rejuvenation of first-class football “On the Banks.”
