"...The jolt of excitement Rutgers star Pierce Frauenheim felt as he returned an interception was matched only by his anticipation of what came next...."

Did Rutgers, not Ohio State, start helmet stickers in college football? Here's proof

You see Buckeyes on Ohio State helmets, but Rutgers was giving out helmet stickers in 1960s, when its 'Jericho' defense revolutionized pass defense and sparked an undefeated season

Jericho!

 

[RUPete]

Tekay Dorsey?

I don't recall us getting too many guys from there. Didn't we get an LB under Flood or Ash? I don't think he played much though. I just know that we could never beat them (No. Plfd.) We used to play them a lot.

 

[50 yd line RR]

The original #23. Long before BL.
He did everything but drive the bus for Immaculatta, (and his wife did that).
Great guy, great family.
RIP Coach.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Great guy. I gave him a Rutgers program from his first football game at RU while attending an Immacualta basketball game and I remember how grateful he was. RIP.

That’s pretty cool.

Met him at a Rutgers tailgate years ago. He stopped to say hi to my tailgate buddy, who's son played for Pierce. Good guy. RIP.
