The craziest on-field event in the long history of college football is a moment called, "The Play."
Future Denver Broncos legend John Elway was the Stanford quarterback who delivered his team to what seemed to be a game-winning field goal against Cal in 1982. The field goal established a one-point Stanford lead and left four seconds on the clock for a short-field kickoff caused by the penalty Elway’s teammates earned for premature celebration. “Only a miracle could save the Bears," Cal radio man Joe Starkey said on the broadcast. Five laterals later, with the Stanford band spread across the field celebrating a win that was about to become a loss, Cal's Kevin Moen crossed the goal line and crashed into Gary Tyrrell.
