My most memorable Troy Walters play...
It was a really hot day. UCLA was in the house. Stanford had the ball on its own two yard line, Walters split wide to the right. Before the ball was snapped, I noticed the Bruin CB step closer to Walters. A look behind him showed there was no Safety on that side of the field. I turned to my friend and said, "look at Walters! he's got man coverage with no safety help! This is gonna be a 98 yard touchdown, watch!"
Obviously Joe Borchard saw the same thing and had the same thoughts. The ball was snapped, Walters beat the corner at the LOS, and as he ran free into the open Foster Field grass, Borchard lobbed the perfect pass to a now wide open Walters, who took it in and raced the rest of the way for I believe the longest TD catch in Stanford history.
Never will forget yelling at my friend as Walters was hauling in the catch, "I told, you it would be a 98 yard touchdown!!!"
