I don't remember the exact down/distance and time on the clock but I'm pretty sure they were in position to either milk the clock down to zeros or maybe a couple ticks and then just snap the ball and run back on 4th down to ice it???
I know Stanford had a timeout but that wouldn't have been enough.
The kid shouldn't have fumbled but the coach shouldn't have even put him in that position. I had Oregon +2 and U59.5 so that was a double bad beat. Unreal.
