Anticpated 'The Play' in 1982's 'Big Game'

Right in Berkeley's Memorial Stadium, the Harold Lloyd football sequence anticipated, if not in form, then at least in spirit, "The Play", in which the Cal Bears pulled off a last-second victory over the Stanford Whatevers in the 1982 "Big Game". Two guesses which university was my Alma Mater!

Awesome! Love that it was filmed during the Big Game in 1925, the year my grandparents went together (she went to Stanford, he to Cal). What a great glimpse into the past!

Stanford Whatevers? Are they related to the Yale Thingamajigs?
