It isn’t officially college football season until Rutgers pulls, uh, a Rutgers.
Fortunately, the Scarlet Knights didn’t keep people waiting long on Saturday when they opened the season against Boston College.
Add this classic to the Rutgers highlight reel of infamous football moments.
How about the Scarlet Knights found a way to punt on fourth-and-goal? Yes, they had first-and-goal at the BC 10 and wound up with a fourth-and-goal at the BC 43.
Can’t imagine Greg Schiano had his team practice a drive going that far in reverse.
All-American punter Adam Korsak managed to salvage something as his boot pinned the Eagles at their 3.
If your favorite college football team had a bad game just know at least they didn’t punt on 4th And Goal from the 43. pic.twitter.com/ch9g25zKes
