THE FIRST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME

America's first football game

undefined

On November 6, 1869, Rutgers beat Princeton, 6-4, in the first
college football game
. The game, played with a soccer ball
before roughly 100 fans in New Brunswick, New Jersey,
resembles rugby instead of today’s football.

player and first head coach at Rutgers College.
