The conclusion of the 85th Big Game in 1982 is know simply as "The Play". Many consider it one of the greatest plays in the history of college football. With 4 seconds left on the clock, Cal lateraled the ball five times and ran through the Stanford Band, which had run onto the field to celebrate prematurely. The legitimacy of the Play has remained controversial. To this day, the final score is noted as Stanford 20, Cal 19 in many Stanford publications, whereas the official score went down at 25-20, with Cal winning.
