Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. with live television coverage on MSG.</p> The Scarlet Knights are coming off a historic 2006 campaign, finishing the season 11-2 overall and 12th in the final collegiate rankings. Rutgers won its first bowl game in school history with a convincing 37-10 victory over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl to close out the 2006 campaign.</p> Poll Position For the first time in school history, Rutgers begins the season ranked in both the USA Today/Coaches Top 25 and the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Dating back to last season, Rutgers has been ranked in 13 consecutive polls, the longest stretch in school history,</p> The Birthplace of College Football Rutgers begins its 138th year of college football and the seventh under head coach Greg Schiano on August 30 vs. Buffalo. The season-opener for Schiano vs. Buffalo is nothing new - he is 2-0 all-time vs. the Bulls in season-openers, including a 31-15 victory in his first game as head coach of the Scarlet Knights on August 30, 2001.

The victory over the Orange also secured the best single-season record in school history at the “new” Rutgers Stadium at 6-0. The Scarlet Knights have won seven straight home games (school-record at the “new” Rutgers Stadium), with their last loss coming at home on November 5, 2005 vs. USF. The seven-game home winning streak is the longest for the Scarlet Knights on-campus since the 20-game streak from Nov. 16, 1974-Nov. 25, 1978. Rutgers won 20 straight games at the “Old Rutgers Stadium” during that time span. The overall winning streak during that time period was 24 games, including four wins during the streak that took place at Giants Stadium.</p> Undefeated Home Seasons in RU History Season Record Stadium 2006 6-0 “New” Rutgers Stadium 1984 6-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium @ 1976 6-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium # 1975 7-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1961 4-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1950 4-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1947 5-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1946 5-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1941 6-0 “Old” Rutgers Stadium 1915 5-0 Neilson Field 1896 4-0 Neilson Field 1894 2-0 Neilson Field 1891 5-0 College Field @ played two games at Giants Stadium # played two games at Giants Stadium</p> Welcome Back The Scarlet Knights welcome the return of 14 starters and 36 letterwinners this spring. There were key losses in the departure of All-American fullback Brian Leonard, All-BIG EAST tight end Clark Harris, Rimington Award finalist Darnell Stapleton at center and Second Team BIG EAST selections on defense in linebacker Devraun Thompson and defensive tackle Ramel Meekins, but the majority of the squad's playmakers return in 2007. Rutgers returns seven starters on offense, highlighted by 2006 Second Team All-American running back Ray Rice. The junior from New Rochelle, N.Y. established a BIG EAST record with 1,794 rushing yards last season. In addition, three starters return on the offensive line, both starting wide receivers and junior quarterback Mike Teel. Defensively, senior defensive tackle Eric Foster returns as the team's emotional leader and as one of the top players in the nation.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti)</div><div class='quotemain'> Rutgers is a 32.5 point favorite.</p> What do you think? </p> </div></p> Depends. If the game is clearly over early, the starters will be out fairly soon ro prevent any more injuries.</p> </p>

Ooh the replay was just shown on ESPN. Looked good. Haha the college gameday crew is already ragging on Buffalo</p> Here's a decision: Do I listen to the rutgers-buffalo, watch louisville-murray state, or LSU-miss st? </p>
Watch Louisville vs. Murray State. JB Fitzgerald is announcing his college decision at halftime on ESPNU. It's either us, michigan, or florida. It'll most likely be Michigan, but I'm still anxious to see.
Word. Hey JCB how's our defense looking? It sounds like we're giving up way too many penalties...but wait...can defend the option?

Buffalo's offense looked good on that drive as well. We forced a punt on the drive though.</p> </p>
