I implore all true Cal football fans to watch the'93 Cal Oregon game I posted above. This will truly change your mind and you will fall in love with Cal football all over again
I agree it is one of the best Cal games I have seen.
When we were down by 30 in the first half, I was expecting a total blow out in the second half. I was thinking: just get some points on the board I don't want to lose by 30 or more points. That is just embarrassing.
We started to come back I was still expecting to lose by 3 TD's. But 21-42 is a whole lot better on paper than 0-42.
Then as we scored more I thought OK 28-42 looks respectable.
Then as we got closer and closer, I wanted the WIN!!!
But any way I looked at the situation, it was clear Cal would have to have a near perfect game keep scoring and we would have to stop or slow down the UO offense.
The long final TD pass from Barr was a thing of beauty. Then the pass for the two point conversion was also fantastic.
But even then UO was not done. There was enough time on the clock for them to get close enough to score a game winning FG.
Then the D steps up with the INT.
Great. Great game.
But not as GREAT as the 1982 Big Game.
