Non-conference football is back in 2021.
Rutgers finished 3-6 in 2020 after playing nine Big-Ten games in nine consecutive weeks. The Scarlet Knights were able to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and get all of their games in. Greg Schiano returned to Piscataway and had plenty to deal with in a strange season. Now, there will be some normalcy brought back to college football.
The Scarlet Knights will be able to play in front of fans with SHI Stadium operating at 100% capacity for the fall. In addition to fans, non-conference games are back and Rutgers will have a chance to branch out.
