I remember hearing that Rod Garcia missed 4 FGs in a Stanford loss to San Jose St during the 1971 Rose Bowl season. He came back and kicked the game winner in the Rose Bowl. Don't expect that will happen this year since Stanford looks to be a far cry from a Rose Bowl team.
Four things I didn't know about Rod Garcia:
1. He was from Chile, moved to USA at age 12 and played for La Mirada high school.
2. He was HM All America in soccer
3. Was drafted by the Earthquakes.
4. Coaches women's soccer at Hancock college in Santa Maria. His brother coaches men's soccer there.
5. Worked for 20 years at Chevron.
6. Once kicked two 50 yard FGs in a Stanford game.
7. Still third for most FGs at Stanford with 84 (Jordan Williamson and John Hopkins are #1 and #2 with 90 and 88).
8. Still holds the longest FG record at Stanford with 59 yards (tied with Mark Harmon).
9. Coached boys tennis in HS.
10. Ran track in HS.
