Rutgers fans now have two excuses to drink early before the Indiana game.
The Scarlet Knights' Big Ten home opener against the Hoosiers on Saturday, Sept. 29 will kick off at 12 p.m. Eastern at HighPoint.com Stadium in Piscataway and be televised on BTN, the conference announced Monday.
That is also the same day as Rutgers' "RU Brewfest" beer festival outside the stadium before the game. The festival will begin two and a half hours before kickoff, so that means the beer will start pouring at 9:30 a.m.
Rutgers is 1-2 after its 55-14 loss at Kansas this past weekend.
