I was at the Colgate game that night at GS.Very cold but hearing the Camppus bells pealing in victory was quite enough to warm everyone
We won because of a call the officials made of "A Loose Ball Clip'. The call should not have been made. There is no such rule.
And we had a rallying touchdown vs. Arizona State off of an onside kick in the first Garden State Bowl cancelled because the kicker was offside. BTW, the kicker cannot be offisde on his kick.
I've seen plenty of critical calls go against the Scarlet Knights. So I'm not going to be picky about that game.
Didn'see you through the tears of joy,It has been 48 years since then,will we ever see 0 losses again?

Rutgers men's basketball team became the 19th NCAA team to finish its season undefeated back in the spring of the 1975-76 season.
The Rutgers football team finished 11-0 in the fall of the 1976-1977 season.
Those were the days my friend.
