“Well, I was the lead, or the trombone section leader, and it was pretty tight back there as the game was nearing the end. The band had gone down to field level for our traditional postgame concert, which we thought was gonna be a victory rally, and it was pretty tight in there. And so once once the clock went down to zero, it just sort of loosened up. I backed up into the end zone, and Kevin Moen just ran right through me.” — Gary Tyrrell (Stanford Trombone Player, Cal Football’s The Play, 1982)
