The Rutgers football season opener against Howard has been rescheduled to Thursday, Aug. 29 as part of a doubleheader on the Big Ten Network. Kickoff for the game is set for 6 P.M. EST, making Rutgers the first Big Ten team to play this season. Originally scheduled for Aug. 31, the game was moved up to accommodate the TV schedule.
In addition, the second game against Akron will now be a noon kickoff and will also air on the Big Ten Network. The matchup against UCLA at SHI Stadium on Oct. 19 will have a kickoff time of either noon, 3:30 p.m. EST, or 4:00 p.m. EST, which is particularly important as it is the annual homecoming game for Rutgers.
Both the road game against Nebraska and the UCLA game have multiple potential kickoff times, with options for either a noon, 3:30 p.m. EST, or 4:00 p.m. EST start time. The kickoff time for the game against Nebraska has yet to be determined, so stay tuned for more updates on the Rutgers football schedule
