Thanks for sharing your memories, Spiny Norman. Given that my awareness of Stanford sports started with that 1980 season, I think that win over OU was the biggest road win until Stanford beat #1 Notre Dame in South Bend in 1990. Of course, the Ralston and Harbaugh-Shaw glory years had more.

Stanford over Ohio State in Columbus in 1982 was a pretty big deal too! Imagine that, in a 4 year stretch (covering my time at Stanford), the football team beat #3 Oklahoma, #1 Washington, #13 Ohio State and tied #2 USC (coming back from a 21-0 deficit). Stanford also lost to Army, Oregon State (its only win in 1979) and a 3-8 Cal team.
