[NU Sports] Win one for Rutgers

[MHRJGScott at aol.com]

We can help good ol' Rutgers into a BCS slot with a win over tOSU.   Nice to 
see a team that played the first college football game, against  Princeton in 
1869, and plays in a big market, regain a little glory. After  getting the 
ball rolling (literally, since only kicking was allowed in the first  game), 
Rutgers pretty much tanked the rest of the 19th century. It had brief  bursts of 
competence in the 20th, like going 14-2-2 between 1923 and 1924, and  14-2-1 
between 1938 and 1939. The 1946-48 squads were a combined 22-5, and the  1960 
and 1961 teams were a combined 17-1, with '61 being the school's first  
undefeated season since it won its sole game in 1876. The mid-to-late '70s were  boom 
years as well, as the Scarlet Knights were 45-11 from 1975 through 1979.  This 
included their only other undefeated season in 1976 -- en route to an 11-0  
record.
