Rutgers football sets annual spring game date
Rutgers football announced on Monday that it will conclude spring practice with its annual intra-squad scrimmage on April 27.
The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network but kickoff time was not announced.
Traditionally, the game has been a significant recruiting event for Rutgers, with a number of top players from the area taking unofficial visits to campus.
The annual Scarlet-White game will be held on Rutgers Day, a celebration of the academic and social side of the university. The football game is in many ways the focal point of the day’s activities.
Save the date!

The scrimmage is the culmination of 15 spring practices and is developmentally an important time for young players as well as those looking to make a move on the depth chart. Last season, offensive players such as wide receiver Ian Strong and running back Ja’Shon Benjamin[autotag], both true freshmen at the time, flashed throughout spring practice.
Rutgers finished this past season 7-6 (3-5 Big Ten) and a win over Miami in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. The Scarlet Knights played the second-toughest schedule in college football.
