I don't know why people keep complaining about that game.  It was a beautiful game, with Elway leading that amazing come-from-behind score to win with just seconds left in the game.  I've watched that game replayed countless times, and our victory never ceases to bring a smile to my face, right before I turn the TV off with 4 seconds left on the clock.

You should watch to the very end of the game, when Dwight Garner's knee is clearly down with no time left on the clock and the band descends onto the field in celebration.

That's the old school view of the event.
The new school would note the ref's should have called the game with the illegal forward pass.  And that forward pass would definitely be observed on any replay review if it happened today.   I think the Pac-12 Nets, or some other Pacific coast based show, covered that ~5 years ago.

All a distant memory now, and if that game had anything to do with Cal AD's kharma or Stanford AD's kharma since 1982 then it is definitely all good IMHO.

I think they would have thrown a flag for the illegal forward pass, but I don't think that blows the play dead.  On the other hand, at the moment the knee hit the ground, the game would have been over.
