If you thought Week 0 on the Garden State gridiron was action-packed, then you better buckle up for what’s coming in Week 1.
Almost the entire state is taking the field from September 5-7 with matchups of all kinds taking centerstage.
N.J.’s powerhouse programs are squaring off against more out of state competition, several Top-20 squads are playing their first game of the year, and lots of teams are looking to prove their Week 0 contest – for better or worse – wasn’t a fluke.
