Great football stadium

Well, for starters, the Rutger’s Scarlet Knights play in New Brunswick, New Jersey.  And that stadium made the top 30 list for college football fans to have on the “must see” list per Sports Illustrated.

But Rutgers is more than a great spot on the NCAA football map of historic sites. This is a young hungry team hoping to turn things around this season.  In fact, we hammered that point home in an earlier assessment of this game.

Last season, the Huskies faced the Scarlet Knights in Seattle. Now, the time zone factor will work against the Huskies. Will it play an important role in the outcome?
