Rutgers Bo Melton tries to excape the clutches of UMass defenders during the second quarter for the home team, as Rutgers fell behind visiting UMass 21-7 in a season-opening August, 30, 2019 football game at the SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. Melton had a big night catching 6 passes for 127 yards the Rutgers Scarlet Knights went on to score 41 unanswered points and celebrated the 150th anniversary by trouncing the Massachusetts Minutemen 48-21 in an NCAA Division 1 FBS matchup. nThe game had a historic context because 150 years earlier, Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4 in the first inter-collegiate football game which was played in neighboring New Brunswick, NJ in 1869. To the present day, Rutgers is known as the `Birthplace of College Football.`
