Hands down, the most exciting play ever to be seen and heard in any sport of any kind....with the golden voice of Joe Starkey leading the way.

Stanford should've milked the clock down to 3 seconds then kick and time would've expired and Cal doesn't have their miracle finish! 42 years ago! Damn I'm old! 😂

You had to see Elway in person to really appreciate how damn good he really was. 4th and 18 from his 12 with less than a minute snd drills a 30 yard pass. Elway also led a late scoring drive against top 10 Arizona State only to see Stanford give up a last second td.

The build up to The Play makes you realize how epic The Play really was. Cal had won. Then thanks to the great John Elway, they lost. But then, the greatest play in football history.

Kevin Moen was a running back, not a quarterback, at Rolling Hills High. I know this because in his senior year I saw him dominate my own high school's team. Several of our players were injured trying to tackle him. Three years later I got to see him score the winning touchdown. One member of our group was in a wheelchair, and we sat at the center of the top row, right below her. It's so wonderful to be able to say "I was there".

#26 on Stanford Mike Tolliver from Lancaster,Ca. Caught Elway s last collegiate pass and was also the last Stanford player with a chance at making the tackle on the kickoff.

As a Cal student (a junior) in 1982 I turned down (!) an invitation to attend this game because I had to go to work. My brother later called me at work screaming on the other end of the phone. I didn't believe what he told me, but when I got home and saw the reply, it was exactly as he described.

Elway sealed their fate calling the time out with 8 seconds left, and the unsportsmanlike penalty on the field goal.

My favorite line in Joe starkey's call is at the end, "there will be no extra point"!

A lot of things lead up to “the play”: Stanford leaving too much time on the clock, and the 15 yard penalty on the kickoff…

Stanford called timeout with 8 seconds left. Why? All they did was leave time on the clock for a kickoff to Cal. They should have called the timeout at 3 seconds, therefore the FG is the final play of the game. Terrible coaching.
@davidhare1570Ай бұрын
That was EXACTLY what I was thinking when they called a time out with 8 seconds left. There was no reason not to wait to make sure the kick was the last play of the game.
@johnmanier7968Ай бұрын
I could understand leaving 8 seconds if Stanford had another timeout left. Then they could’ve called a TO if there’d been a bad snap. But with zero timeouts left, a bad snap would’ve doomed them no matter what (unless someone threw a pass out of bounds).

In these old school situations they would kick with a few seconds to spare on purpose just in case of a blunder. A weird tactic that doesn’t get used much today if at all

Elway lost that game for Stanford because he’s the one who called timeout with 8 seconds. No fault of the coaches.
