The game starts at 4:00 p.m. E.T. and can be seen on the Big Ten Network.

Rutgers started the season 1-0 after barely scraping by against Boston College for a 22-21 road victory. They knew the ACC squad would be a challenge, but some early sloppy play led to a two score deficit. Rutgers’ offensive line and defense would step up huge in the second half and allow the Scarlet Knights to march back on the back of running backs Kyle Monangai and Al-Shadee Salaam.

Wagner started their season with a loss. The FCS program is currently on a 21 game losing streak and things are not looking up for the Seahawks. Rutgers has a strong history against non-FBS opponents, and don’t expect that to change on Saturday. Look for Rutgers to get out to an early lead, continue to pile on, and get some valuable playing time for their younger players en route to a blowout victory in their home opener. Fans attending the game should plan to get there early and stay late as there are festivities surrounding the contest. Saturday’s game is being billed as the “Back to the Birthplace Game” with a pre-game parade and post-game fireworks.
