This is bound to be a special season in college football.
In case you haven’t heard, this year marks the 150th season in the history of college football. It is one sport with such an illustrious history that has grown into a cultural phenomenon across America.
Only one place can claim to be the birthplace of the sport, and that place is none other than Rutgers. It began all the way back in 1869 before evolving into what we now love and enjoy today.

In honor of the special season, Rutgers football released a special hype video recognizing the unique history around the program. Narrating the video are Jason and Devin McCourty, twin brothers who played together with the Scarlet Knights before playing together in the NFL.
Needless to say, it is truly awesome:
150 years ago, it all started HERE.
Rutgers.
