Am I missing something. It's still Friday for another 90 minutes.

OT?
Perhaps if you gave the clue and number of letters, you would get more assistance.

I get the NYT crossword online and get it the night before it's published. Question: Football rival of Rutgers.

Now we're talking! 4 letters?

Cuse? Nope, too long ago.
Conn? Nope, same thing.
Nits? Nah, they are "unrivaled".
Owls? Maybe, but don't play that often.
Terps? Too many letters.
tOSU? Doubtful.

Army fits, but is Army really a rival?

You got any other letters?

The answer is Army. Struck me as odd, given all the possible clues you could give. We're moving up in the world. The NYT crossword is rarefied air.
