The Time Christian McCaffrey Destroyed #5 Iowa

and our star stars christian mccaffrey [Applause] he will touch the ball first if the kicker gives him an opportunity and we will see what marshall kane does with this kickoff for the hawkeyes did not get a chance along here in preparation to the middle and it's complete mccaffrey will he score on the first play from scrimmage yes died there are not very many running backs that can run the entire route tree christian mccaffrey's dad of course the great ed mccaffrey who played at stanford went on have a phenomenal year with the denver broncos well he passed those jeans on to his son this is just too easy pitch and catch let me interrupt you later mom is lisa who played soccer at stanford and her father is david syme who was an olympic silver medalist colorado [Music] and the handoff is to mccaffrey they just keep it on the ground power breaks free again midfield before he is out of bounds the focal point of the iowa defense was stop number five and clearly so far they are completely unable to do that and on this play brent you really get to see the patience of christian mccaffrey this is where i think he's improved the most as a runner from a year ago allowing blocks to set them to tackles and outside [Applause] again left side breaks another tackle [Applause] folks he wears number five because of a legend who played at usc when he was a youngster he thought reggie bush was the best running back that he watched he has a poster in his bedroom that he kept when he was growing up all through his high school years austin hooper one of the best tight ends and they throw the mccaffrey out wide another first down he's down with the 15 up as he'll do here through a pass against ufc in the championship game but he runs it close to the goal line hogan keeps it touchdown [Applause] empty on third and three bether picked off intercepted headed for the end zone touchdown stanford a three touchdown lead as clinton makes a freshman picks it off and dances to the end zone if you're going to miss an outbreaking route you have to miss it outside they're going to go again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] could not escape kevin palma the linebacker that allowed for the second sack by stanford dylan kid deerfield beach florida punts it away and here's mccaffrey from the 38. dances free got a man to beat midfield two downfield cuts back headed for his second touchdown of the game light up the magazine covers next august folks what a battle for the heisman trophy watched him here against usc in the pac-12 championship this is a 63-yard touchdown earlier if you just joined us he went 75 yards he's a magic band folks [Applause] and christian will come again [Applause] the fake that's a play he faked a fumble gonna go deep got a man touchdown a play they practiced all week michael rector on a fake fumble you freeze the safeties and hogan came up fired how about that now as he puts it down they yell fumble fumble and that freezes the defense just enough and he comes up firing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] first down vandenberg close to midfield 12. [Applause] lost his helmet let's see i don't see a penalty flag down there at all christian caffrey has accomplished here today all purpose yards 232. look at the record we were here when wisconsin's jared abraderas set the record for the rose bowl 346 yards now mccaffrey is going to be taking dead aim at that in the second half on this offense cameron slips that first tackle and picks up the first time i have to tell you folks i don't know how he alluded jesse that first defender i thought he had dead aim at him and somehow he was able to get past truly very good tacklers miss open field there's a linebacker fischer nope unbelievable on a first intent we saw christian mccaffrey score on two explosive plays what has he given to you in the first half it's just what he is i mean he's having the best season any skill position player has ever had in the history of the game and the stats and the numbers prove it and this is this is another game and god bless him i know exactly how he's going to be in the silence he's going to be angry in the sidelines that he didn't get another touchdown so we're going to come out fired up ready to go positions they set up differently a late signal from the look at that they get a man wide open for the sound and that was his ease hitter again and what a fine looking football player is but late defensive signals are coming today and iowa's getting another dose of it what is so interesting to me jess i haven't seen the first defender bring him down yet in this game up in northern california and they come back with the star here's the magic man dancing free he's got king who wrestles and throws him down with emphasis the thorpe award winner said not on my watch this time you know to get movement it's a zone scheme to the left getting penetration getting blocks and then you got to be patient as a running back in that kind of scheme as well looking for the cutback lane that's exactly what mcafee finds right here and again we talked about it tough to tackle greg maben 13 has a shot this is normally on the field before the game from the right hash nails it conrad ukrainian [Applause] toss play and here comes mccaffrey looking for daylight stepped out right at the marker where are they going to spot it looks like a little bit short there with the headlines man this is the hawkeye running back off play action can't find an open receiver sacked at the 35 by solomon thomas defensive tackle out of coppell texas so on fourth down beathard has the back pedal fires first down looks good 39 in the order iowa will not be shut out field goal stanford will get the ball back [Applause] and here comes mccaffrey [Applause] out to the 28-yard line approaching that record out next year he'll be an early season here he comes [Applause] works that first tackle again approaches the first down marker he may have it with that spot for those guys drops it off at a screen pass to mccaffrey [Applause] running him down who's fielded at the 30 by king king with daylight breaks oh he's tripped up at the 35 yard line that would have been a touchdown but martinez right there number four tripped him up 14 19 to go firing downfield cut touchdown matt vandenberg so he goes out as a receiver hogan though looks and fires the other way [Applause] here's mccaffrey that's the total yardy's record right there one record down total yardage record for the rose bowl just fell on that run so the runner-up for the heisman trophy had the jim thorpe award winner and desmond king on an island one on one desmond king wanted no part of it he's looking for mccaffrey [Applause] what he does so well he scored 13 touchdowns he can handle the pressure mccaffrey was a blocker up in the air intercepted deflected pass intercepted by the hawkeyes he's had a foot down to the end zone far side wide open touchdown iowa guess who's winning the second half [Applause] and there's the other record for our young man christian mccann we knew he was going to guess somehow some way and you know he's still going to stay in the game but tell you what what a performance christian mccaffrey has had from the very very first play christian mccaffrey has left an impact in this game it's a fitting way for a remarkable season to end in the rose bowl setting multiple records with his family here watching and all david sean said the young man was just a couple of receiving yards away as hogan goes deep for the end zone touchdown stanford michael rector the deep threat strikes again 16 seconds remaining fumble stanford pounces on it a period on a tremendous overall performance stanford wins the rose bowl christian mccaffrey breaks two records [Applause] [Music] greatest formation in football kirk ferentz will go across the field now david shaw titan explosive night you break two rose bowl records how aware were you of your production all throughout the game um not at all really you know when you're playing the game goes by so fast and you really just focus on the next play and so i think that's why our team is successful is because you know we we we don't worry about what's happening in the now we worry about the next play and what we can do to help the team be successful well it seems as though you guys came out very fast you had two long runs and touchdowns what was the focus of this team coming into the rose bowl game um just be us you know there's a lot of talk on you know a lot of other teams and all that stuff but we just knew that we can be extremely good when we focus on what we're doing and executing our offensive plays and so for us it was just come in and execute you found yourself in new york you were the runner up for the heisman trophy what kind of motivation did you have coming into this matchup after having such a great journey to new york i mean the motivation motivation always stays there you know i mean all the great players always play with it with a chip with a chip on our shoulder and you know that's why that's why you see successful teams do what they do is because they don't worry about any individual accolades because you know we know that all those are a part of a team that's a team win and how would you describe the journey of this season you open up the year with a loss to northwestern but make your way back to the rose bowl game what have you guys been talking about in the locker room to make it to this moment um you know we just never gave up you know when everybody else had their chips against us you know we we bought into each other and we bought into uh you know what stanford football means and that's that's never given up and that's being extremely um you know better than barry you know very detailed on offense and and not giving up but you know we just we had a choice uh we could have folded after that first game or come together and you know i couldn't ask for better teammates and better people to enjoy this win with because um you know it was us against the wall when we were playing all right you hear people saying heisman behind me will that be on your mind at all when you take the field in our season no you know you can't focus on all that stuff at all you gotta really just focus on you and becoming the best player you can be thanks for your time thank you i appreciate it he's seen how professional athletes handle themselves longest of his career was the first play from scrimmage for stanford here today he broke the single season school rush record and he became the first person in history with 100 rush yards and 100 receiving yards

Ah the good old days when we scored points at will.

I don't disagree with the guy yelling "Heisman!" at the postgame, but goddamn is he annoying.

[u/StoicAscent]

Man, I'd forgotten just how thoroughly Stanford dominated Iowa. The opening score, the pick-six, the punt return, the fake fumble... I miss this team so much.

It is an absolute travesty that McCaffrey didn't win the Heisman.

Was this the peak or was it the 2012 Fiesta Bowl? This debate will follow me to my grave.
