Happy Birthday College Football! You Look Good for 150

150 years ago Rutgers and Princeton played in the first ever college football game. Little has changed for Rutgers since that fateful day. The game they played on that day is far from what we would consider modern day football. To many, what Rutgers does on the gridiron today is looked upon the same way. Those teams did not have head coaches and after all these years, Rutgers still prefers to play that way.

Ah, yes, 1869 is that wonderful time when the forward pass doesn’t exist. Oh the glory days of yore! Now we have communist RPO’s.
