Growing up in Massachusetts, he high-fiving each other because we came back here alive,'' joked Kyle Busch, who qualified fourth. ''The minimum speed through the corner is amazing.'' Bowyer, from Empo- ria, Kan., is coming off a win last week at Charlotte that put him back in the championship picture. He trails leader Brad Keselowski by 28 points with five races left in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. ''That was a fast lap,'' had watched the television replays of the five increasingly improbable laterals that led to the winning touchdown on the last-second kick- off return into a band-blocked end zone, with Cal's Kevin Moen flat- tening a Stanford trombone player to punctuate one of the most iconic moments in college football history. Not until about fifth grade did Rodgers recognize a particular play- er involved. ''Seeing it on TV all those times and then actually realizing that it was my dad, that's basically when I knew,'' said Rodgers, whose father, Richard Rodgers Sr., tossed two of the laterals that stunned Stanford 25- 20 in the 1982 Big Game. ''Now we laugh about it and joke with my dad about it. It's pretty cool.'' Thirty years since those famous the 100-yard freestyle at 51.94 seconds. Owen Ritter was 18th and Egan Meagher was 25th.

Bowyer said. ''It's unreal how much that gets your attention.'' Keselowski will start 25th after a lousy qualify- ing run. Jimmie Johnson is third in points and will start seventh, while Denny Hamlin will go off ninth after a hard wreck in test- ing on Thursday. ''You're just driving your guys out and doing everything you can all the way around,'' Johnson said. ''You know it's fast. You just don't know if it's fast enough.'' Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart qualified worst of the Chase drivers in 33rd, while Regan Smith got sideways going through a corner and qualified 40th in Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car. After all, most of them have little ties to The Play — and none were even born yet. Stanford (4-2, 2-1) is trying to stay in contention for the Pac-12 North Division title and rebound from a devastating defeat in over- time at Notre Dame, while Califor- nia (3-4, 2-2) is looking to stop a two-game losing streak to the Cardi- nal and move a win closer to bowl eligibility after a slow start this sea- son. The Play? Well, it's just another scintillating subplot now. ''I remember when I first started getting recruited by Cal, I was like, 'Oh, this is where The Play hap- pened,''' said Golden Bears center Brian Schwenke, who grew up in Hawaii and Southern California and also was recruited by Stanford. ''I knew The Play, really, before I knew Cal.'' This week has been more of a history lesson than reliving the past for present players on both sides. Rodgers, whose father is now an MCt file photo California and Stanford meet in the Big Game on Saturday, 30 years after The Play. assistant special teams coach for the Carolina Panthers, didn't even know until last year who Joe Starkey was.

After a game last year at San Francisco's AT&T Park, where the Bears played during Memorial Sta- dium's renovation, Rodgers' mother told him that anybody on the street in the Bay Area would know Starkey's name. So she pulled the car over and had him ask a stranger to prove the point. ''The person I asked was Joe Starkey,'' Rodgers said, laughing. ''That was pretty crazy.'' One's perspective on The Play really depends on where his or her allegiances lie. The contentiousness is so strong that depending on which team holds the Stanford Axe, which goes to the winner, the score of the 1982 game is changed. ''There's a significant portion of those of us here at Stanford that just don't believe that play should have continued,'' Cardinal coach David Shaw said. ''That's never going to change, and I think that only adds to the lore of that play.'' Asked for his response this week, Cal coach Jeff Tedford said: ''Of course it was a legal touchdown. What kind of question is that?'' Tedford's ties to The Play run on both sides. wonder whether The Play should have been blown dead at least twice, either on what looks like an early tackle or a late forward lateral. Those in Berkeley bristle at that notion and believe Stanford fans are Most Stanford sympathizers still In the summer of 1979, he played quarterback opposite Elway — and with Moen — in the North-South Shrine Game at the Rose Bowl, jok- ing, ''I was just happy to be there.'' Then Tedford's Fresno State team played UNLV on Nov. 20, 1982, and he was excited to learn later that night that Moen scored Cal's win- ning touchdown. ''At the time, you didn't know what kind of impact or history it would make,'' Tedford said. ''It's probably the most famous play in football history.'' single largest part of the Big Game's hefty history, it's hardly the only memory of a rivalry that dates back to 1892 — when future President Herbert Hoover was Stanford's team manager. Shaw's favorite Big Game moment came watching from the Stanford sideline as a true freshman in 1990, when Ed McCaffrey caught a 19-yard touchdown pass with 12 seconds left. Stanford went for the winning two-point conversion but missed, leaving Cal ahead 25-24. Cal fans rushed the field but ref- erees called a 15-yard delay of game penalty because time still remained.
