It has been a long and difficult month for the Rutgers football program. That is probably an understatement, actually. A change in momentum is desperately needed. Today could be that change. It's Homecoming. We play Kansas, a team that has lost 30 consecutive road games. And to top it off, the decision was made for our team to wear the uniforms this program wore during our greatest season from the 2006 campaign.

Of course, a big win today does not erase the many issues and questions about our beloved football program. However, it would be nice for one day, to cheer on the team in victory, celebrating our great institution on Homecoming. Let's hope the boys deliver, here are links to get you caught up before the game.
Darius Hamilton showed he has the heart of a lion by playing last week against Penn State. He was back on the injury report this week, listed as questionable. For a full injury report and depth chart for this week, click here.
Kansas runs an up tempo offense and averages over 80+ plays a game. It will be another test for our secondary, who showed progress against Penn State.
We continue to track the attendance of every Big Ten school for their home games. Rutgers wants us to "pack the point" this weekend!
