1990 California vs. Stanford

The Cardinal scored nine points in the final 12 seconds to pull out an improbable 27-25 victory. Quarterback Jason Palumbis connected with wide receiver Ed McCaffrey on a 19-yard TD with 12 seconds on the clock, lifting the Cardinal to within a point of Cal at 25-24. A two-point conversion, however, failed and the Bears celebrated a certain victory. But, Stanford recovered the ensuing onside kick and Cal was penalized 15 yards on the first play, setting the Cardinal up at the Bears' 22-yard line. Stanford kicker John Hopkins came on to hit a 37-yard field goal as time ran out and Stanford began celebrating its 27-25 win.
