2023 Opponent Outlook: Why We Will Beat Rutgers

Related Topics: Rutgers University

Useless trivia: Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is one of only 9 universities in the USA that were chartered prior to our independence from Britain. 7 of the others are now Ivy League schools and the other one is William & Mary. With Michigan State being founded before the Civil War, it is almost bizarre that the two land-grant universities only met on the gridiron for the first time in 1988.

Guys, I’m going to level with you. Rutgers is not a good football program. They have a total of three B1G wins in the past two seasons, two of which were against Indiana.
