Rutgers football has completed their 2019 schedule by announcing today that they will open the season, which will be the 150th all-time for the program, at home against UMass. The move officially ends speculation of Rutgers playing Princeton to honor the anniversary of the first college football game, which took place on November 6th, 1869. Instead, Rutgers will enjoy their second bye week of the season the weekend of November 9th. From a pure football perspective, taking that week off ahead of a season ending stretch against Ohio State, Michigan State and Penn State, seems to makes a lot of sense.
