1980_cover_medium

Cal beat Stanford in consecutive Big Games for the first time since 1959-60 with an improbable 28-23 win. The Bears started walk-on quarterback J Torchio, while All-American John Elway completed only 20 of 45 passes for Stanford. On the cover: Stanford coach Paul Wiggin and Cal coach Roger Theder.
