Golden Bears

Out of the blue, Rock was the quarterback for the California Golden Bears late in what would almost certainly become a blowout victory over the UCLA Bruins.
California led 67-21, there were two minutes left, and Rock was with his team in the huddle. He called a 41, which he hoped meant the tailback would plunge into the line to the immediate left of the center, just as it had for his youth-league football team in Huntsville, Alabama, back in the fall of 1969. Apparently it did. After an awkward exchange, the overweight, baby-faced back rushed up the middle for a yard or two.
Rock looked at his teammates in the subsequent huddle and smiled. "Are you guys even getting hit? It seems as if those guys are playing like a bunch of little girls."
The players grinned sheepishly, almost as though they were embarrassed by their opponent's play.
Rock next called for a 42.
"You want me to go the right?" the back said.
"Yes," Rock said.
The play called for the back to run immediately to the right of center, but he instead ran parallel to the scrimmage line until a corner opened around UCLA's defense. He cut up field near the sideline and ran at least fifty yards for a touchdown. No one was close to him when he scored.
Rock and his teammates responded with a celebration that began near midfield, but spilled into the parking lot and eventually spread across the campus. They had abandoned the game with a minute and a half left to play.
Suddenly Rock was one of the analysts in a national television studio as this bizarre circumstance unfolded in Berkeley. Though none of them were sure what the ruling would be, one thought UCLA would be allowed to play the rest of the game unopposed, during which it perhaps could score the 53 points it needed for victory. Rock said he believed California would have to forfeit.
