Rutgers has since confirmed that this game has been scheduled.
This will be the second FCS school added to future schedules of late, as Rutgers also recently added Monmouth to the 2020 schedule. I like the focus on regional games and while I don’t love the idea of playing an FCS team every season, at least head coach Chris Ash is adding local one’s to the schedule.
