Description
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team represents Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in the Football Bowl Subdivision of the National Collegiate Athletics Association . As of July, 2014 it joined the Big Ten Conference.
Rutgers plays its home games at High Point Solutions Stadium, located on the University's Piscataway, New Jersey campus. The team is currently coached by Chris Ash.
In 1869, Rutgers defeated Princeton University by a score of 6 to 4 in what is considered to be the first ever intercollegiate football game. For this reason, Rutgers has been affectionately described as "The Birthplace of College Football."
In addition to the playful Scarlet Knight mascot ,Rutgers also has a horse and a real Scarlet Knight. The mounted Scarlet Knight follows the band during their parade to the stadium. After the pregame show, a video, setting up the Scarlet Knight and his steed's arrival, plays on the jumbotron, and the knight rides through the path made by the band onto the field and draws his sword. The other appearances of the mounted Scarlet Knight include after every touchdown and field goal.
