Big mistake on the second drive in 1978. Up 7-0 and on their way to another TD. They run a Darrin Nelson option and he tosses an int. Never scored again. That team matched up physically and one of the great defensive plays in Stanford history was a Bo Boxold hit on Charles White on a fourth and one. Boxold was doomed by injuries as was the other ILB named Budinger. Plus Robbie Chapman who looked like a future star at safety flunked out. Plenty of talent to compete with the So Cals in ‘78. And the next year a 21-21 tie ruined their perfect season.
