this game had echoes of the 1982 game due to late seesaw scoring, the critical role of fans on the field, and the winning points being scored as time expired. it has been called "the payback" or "the revenge of the play" by stanford fans. after trailing since the first quarter, left-footed stanford kicker john hopkins kicked his fourth field goal of the game with 9:56 left to give stanford its first lead at 18–17. cal responded with a touchdown and added a two-point conversion to lead 25-18 with 6:03 left. stanford stopped cal on a third and 6 on the stanford 46 with 2:06 left to play. after cal's punt, stanford took its final possession on its own 13 with 1:54 left. escaping two near interceptions and converting a 4th and 6, stanford moved the ball to the cal 19 with 0:17 left. quarterback jason palumbis threw a touchdown pass to ed mccaffrey in the end zone to make it 25–24. with no overtime, and despite the fact that a tie would keep the axe at stanford for another year, cardinal coach dennis green quickly went for a two-point conversion. the attempt failed and cal fans and players engulfed the field, causing a lengthy delay and resulting in a 15-yard delay of game penalty. with 12 seconds left and now kicking from the 50 yard line, hopkins bounced the ensuing onside kick off a cal player and, after being touched by seven players, the ball was recovered by stanford's dan byers on the cal 37. with 9 seconds left and no time outs, a pass attempt to mccaffrey to set up a field goal fell short, but palumbis was roughed on the play moving the ball to the 22 yard line. with 5 seconds left, hopkins connected on a 39-yard field goal into the wind, giving stanford a 27–25 victory as time expired. this time stanford students and players engulfed the field. the late passing and kicking excitement overshadowed two excellent running performances by cal's russell white (177 yards and 2 td's) and stanford's glyn milburn (196 yards and 1 td). milburn also led stanford receiving with 9 receptions for 66 yards and had 117 return yards. his 379 all-purpose yards set a pac-10 record at the time and remained stanford's record until it was eclipsed by christian mccaffrey's 389 all-purpose yards in the 2015 edition of the big game.

on may 19, 2015, the nfl owners adopted a proposal to permit a defensive two-point conversion for the season. on may 20, 2016, the owners adopted a proposal called the 2 point fair play rule. this prevents a defense from getting a turnover during a 2 point conversion and then purposefully committing a "free" penalty to increase a chance at a 2 point return. if the defense is able to gain a takeaway and then commits a penalty, the opposing coach will have the option to accept the penalty and skip the kickoff. it has not yet been used in the nfl, but a similar rule has been used on two occasions in the cfl.
