One hundred fifty years ago this fall, Rutgers beat Princeton on Nov. 6, 1869, in what is recognized as America's first-ever college football game.
The following week, Princeton beat Rutgers — and didn't lose again until 1876, when it lost to Yale.
Then Princeton eventually beat Yale, and Harvard beat them, and so on and so forth.
