The Rutgers Scarlet Knights began their 155th football season with their home opener against Howard.

Last season was the team's most successful in 10 years, capping off with a win in the Pinstripe Bowl. Star player Kyle Monangai, of Roseland, is back and ready to lead the BIG 10 in rushing yet again.
