Rutgers and Princeton played their first intercollegiate football game on November 6, 1869, and only those two schools can trace back the history of their programs that far. Of course, at the time the sport much more closely resembled soccer than modern football.

The first college football game was played in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. The first NFL game was played in 1920 between Dayton and Columbus.
