Oregon radio announcer Jerry Allen's call of the play-an emotional narrative of shock and interjection that gives way to wilting disbelief over the course of just a few seconds-is now branded into the memory banks of countless Duck fans the world over: "Huard drops back to throw the ball, looks left, and it's...intercepted! The Ducks have the ball...Kenny Wheaton's gonna score! Kenny Wheaton's gonna score! The 30, the 20, to the 10, touchdown...on the interception...the most improbable finish to a football game! At the time, though, as Wheaton raced downfield, weaving in and out of punch-drunk Husky offensive players not to be caught on his way to the end zone, Brooks was just hoping he'd down the ball. "I'm standing on the sidelines yelling, 'Get down! Get down!" he remembers. "I didn't want him to fumble. But he goes right by our bench, cuts backs towards midfield, and suddenly there's nobody left." Book jacket.
