The Irvington High School football program was well-represented when the University of Nebraska hosted Rutgers University at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., in front of a crowd of 87,464.
Junior linebacker Mikai Gbayor and sophomore offensive left guard Justin Evans, both IHS alumni, were among the Nebraska captains and starters for the game. Meanwhile, Rutgers features two other IHS alumni in senior defensive lineman Zaire Angoy and sophomore wide receiver Famah Toure.
Gbayor finished with four tackles, as Nebraska won, 14-7, to improve to 5-1. Rutgers lost its first game and moved to 4-1.
