This one is for the major history buffs.

The College of New Jersey (commonly known as Princeton College) and Rutgers University played what is considered to be the first-ever college football game on Nov. 6, 1869, in New Brunswick, N.J. The game — which was actually 10 "games" in that each goal counted as a game — was won by Rutgers, 6-4.
