This will mark RU’s second trip to the Rate Bowl. The game, set for its 35th edition, was titled the Insight Bowl when the Scarlet Knights took on Arizona State in 2005.
“Some of the best football this season was played in the Big Ten and Big 12 and we are proud that the Rate Bowl is the only bowl game that annually matches teams from these outstanding conferences. The Phoenix community is excited to welcome student-athletes, coaches, fans, alumni and families to the Valley of the Sun this holiday season to make lifetime memories for all involved,” said Fiesta Sports Foundation Executive Director & CEO Erik Moses. “With an afternoon kickoff in downtown Phoenix, we expect a fun day and hard-fought game between two strong teams in Rutgers and Kansas State.”
