| Isaih Pacheco, Rutgers versatile rusher and pass catcher, makes a big reception, and stumbles into the end zone on route to one of his 4 touchdowns in the contest. The game started miserably for the home team. Rutgers fell behind visiting UMass 21-7 in a season-opening August, 30, 2019 football game at the SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. The defense stiffened and the offense exploded. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights rallied and went on to score 41 unanswered points and celebrated the 150th anniversary of of intercollegiate football by trouncing the Massachusetts Minutemen 48-21 in an NCAA Division 1 FBS matchup. Melton had a breadout performance, catching 6 balls for 127 yards and a touchdown. Pacheco, an explosive back, had 156 yards rushing.
The game had a historic context because 150 years earlier, Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4 in the first inter-collegiate football game which was played in neighboring New Brunswick, NJ in 1869. To the present day, Rutgers is known as the `Birthplace of College Football.` |
