Last month, Cincinnati became the first team to beat the Bulls four years in a row. Rutgers can do the same tonight. Both teams are 6-2, needing one more win to be bowl eligible. Rutgers (1-2 Big East) could wind up in the St. Petersburg Bowl. Having played games in NFL stadiums in Tampa and Pittsburgh this season, the Bulls (2-2) practiced at Giants Stadium on Wednesday.
