Rutgers (1-1) finishes its non-conference schedule Sept. 17 when New Mexico comes to town for a noon Eastern Time kickoff (ESPNNews). The Scarlet Knights are coming off a 52-14 victory against Howard, while New Mexico (1-1) suffered a tough 32-31 loss at New Mexico State last week in the Rio Grande Rivalry. This is the first meeting between the teams.
New Mexico started the season by digging a 14-0 first-quarter hole against visiting FCS opponent South Dakota, but the Lobos quickly righted the ship and scored 31 straight points in a 48-21 triumph against the Coyotes. Does this sound vaguely family, Rutgers fans?
