Rutgers athletics had plans to open the Labor Day weekend with a sellout at SHI Stadium as the Scarlet Knights were scheduled to take on the Temple Owls on the gridiron. After Hurricane Ida pushed back the season opener, the football team found themselves in the middle of a packed Scarlet Knights sports schedule over the holiday weekend. The football squad dominated Temple in the rescheduled game on Saturday 61-14. They impressed enough to receive some votes in the USA Today AFCA coaches poll. What’s more impressive than that? How about Rutgers going undefeated in all team sports over the weekend? Let’s take a look at what the other Scarlet Knights did to celebrate the extended weekend.
