And while not run that often by Stanford, those weren't exactly "trick" plays.

Quote:It's pretty tough to ask a guy who never throws the ball to throw a key pass in a do or die situation.
I'll just note here one Stnaford guy who was called on to do just that: Toby Gerhart against ND in 2009. Down 38-30, 4th and 4 from the ND 18 yard line, Toby threw to Whalen in the endzone. THAT was a ballsy call.
I don't know if any player will replace Toby in my heart for the role he played in turning around Stanford.
The play in question at the 1:54 in this video. My son still talks about the play at 2:05 when Gerhart trucks the ND CB.
