PISCATAWAY -- It's been 217 days since the Rutgers football team experienced a victory, roughly 5,200 hours since the Scarlet Knights walked off High Point Solutions Stadium with their heads held high as victors.
"I thought once we got going, our fans and students actually helped us regain momentum in the game, create a lot of energy and excitement for our football team and can't thank them enough,'' Rutgers coach Chris Ash said following his team's 37-28 come-from-behind triumph over New Mexico on Sept. 17, 2016.
The Scarlet Knights will be throwing and catching passes and simulating a football game in front of their fans for the first time since ending a 2-10 campaign on a nine-game losing streak.
