The Play -- 1982

On Saturday, November 20, 1982 Stanford played Cal in their annual rivalry game known simply as The Big Game. On the line for Stanford and John Elway was a bowl game berth. Stanford led with 8 seconds remaining. They decided to squib kick the ball to Cal. Cal lateraled the ball several times. Prior to the third lateral the Cal player appeared to be tackled and down. It was at this point that players and THE FULL MARCHING BAND entered the field of play. But they continued to lateral the ball and eventually Kevin Moen carried the ball through the band and into the endzone for what was ruled a touchdown. Should it have counted? It's questionable. Was it one of the most exciting plays in college football history? You bet. Let me know which college football game had a more exciting finish in the comments.
