The 1964 Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team represented Rutgers University in the 1964

NCAA University Division football season. 
In their fifth season under head coach John F. Bateman, the Scarlet Knights compiled a 6–3
record, won the Middle Three Conference championship, and outscored their opponents 149 to
115.[1][2]
The team's statistical leaders included Roger Kalinger with 916 passing yards, Bob Brendel with
464 rushing yards, and Jack Emmer with 306 receiving yards.[3] Defensively, Rutgers was
powered by its "Golden Nugget" defense led by defensive coordinator, Dewey King, which
ranked 5th nationally in rushing defense allowing only 84.1 yards per-game. The defensive front
seven was led by linebackers Tom Connelly, Dom Viggiano, Bob Schroeder and Bob Norton.
Garth Weber, Werner Fentrop and Jerry Sertek anchored the defensive line. The Rutgers
"Golden Nuggets" ended the 1964 season ranked 20th overall in total defense.[4][5]
The Scarlet Knights played their home games at Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey,
across the river from the university's main campus in New Brunswick.
