UCLA 30, Stanford 27
I am so angry I can't see straight right now.
Even after completely collapsing in the second half, Stanford had the ball at their own 40-yard line with 30 seconds left, with the score tied 24-24. If you're Walt Harris, you need maybe 25 yards to give yourself a chance to kick a 52-yarder to win it. You need to throw a couple of short-pattern passes and use your one remaining timeout wisely.
Or you could let the clock RUN DOWN THE LAST TWENTY SECONDS after a sack and send yourself to overtime against a UCLA team that has utterly dominated you on both sides of the ball in the second half and has all the momentum in the stadium on their side. Then you could immediately and predictably get tooled when your offense stalls and UCLA punches it into the endzone after one fucking play. God damn it. This is going in the Pantheon of Losses with two or three Giants games and the USC game from two years ago.
