Cougars make changes

to football schedule

PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State football team has added a home-and-home series with Rutgers beginning in 2014, athletic director Bill Moos announced.

The first game between the two will be played on Friday, Aug. 29 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, with the return game on Sept. 12, 2015 at Rutgers. The 2014 game will be Rutgers' first as member of the Big Ten Conference.

Through a mutual agreement, the Washington State-Wisconsin series scheduled for 2014 and 2015 has been pushed back to 2022 and 2023, with the 2022 game to be played in Madison and the following year in Pullman.

The game will mark the first meeting between Washington State and Rutgers, while Wisconsin is 2-0 all-time against the Cougars, the last meeting coming in 2007 in Madison.
