25 Years Later--THE PLAY

For tonight's Cal-Stanford game, still the greatest play in American Sports History:

Nice drive by Elway to give Stanford the lead, especially that throw on 4th and 17. Gets lost in the history, unfortunately. Presages what he was to do in the NFL.

Last year's Oklahoma-Boise State game was pretty close to being this great, what with the halfback option pass and then the Statue of Liberty call for the win. I remember saying "this is the greatest finish in a college football game evah..."

The band on the field makes this one, though. Sweet.

I forgot the hook and lateral Boise State ran earlier, also. Playground football at its best.
