150 years ago, on November 6, 1869, the first-ever college football game was played in New Jersey, as the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) Tigers faced Rutgers University. 

On this week's edition of "RFC Throwback Thursday", we take a look back at that inaugural contest, as well as how much the game has changed since then.
