LINDEN, NJ — Last year, on the first Friday night in November to be exact, the Linden Tigers football team, with a backup quarterback inserted, was less than a quarter away from pulling off what would have been considered the biggest upset of the first round of the state playoffs. Linden High School, on a five-game losing streak, led host and top-seeded Irvington High School by a field goal in the fourth quarter, before the Blue Knights rallied to produce an 8-point touchdown in the game's final two minutes to escape with an 11-6 triumph.
