A first down is 10 yards. A touchdown is six points. Put those two numbers together on a calendar -- as in Oct. 6, or 10/6 -- and you get a most memorable date in modern Stanford football history.
 
In the past half century, not only has Stanford won each of the six times it has played a football game on Oct. 6, the nature of each win has been truly remarkable. Here is a summary of each of these six very memorable Oct. 6 Cardinal football games:

That article brought back the memory of that 1979 win over UCLA.  I remember that kick pinwheeling through the air and glancing off the crossbar before falling through for the win with time expired.  Anyone have a link to a video of that kick?

I have the original A and B rolls from our 1979 film and a release print. have the kick from three cameras. Don’t have knowledge if Stanford still has a print. Rumor had it that the department tossed a bunch of film in the 90’s when it was discovered that a reel or two was nitrate. Tossed the baby with the bath in other words.
