It’s another history video, this time from the 1929 Rose Bowl.
Summary:
In 1929, the Rose Bowl featured a game between Georgia Tech and Cal, with Georgia Tech winning 8-7. This game is most remembered for “Wrong Way Riegels’” infamous play, where Cal’s Roy Riegels ran in the wrong direction with a fumbled ball, leading to a safety that contributed to Georgia Tech’s victory.
Despite the intense media ridicule and personal embarrassment, Riegels faced the incident with resilience. He continued to play football, becoming a team captain and an All-American, and later had a successful career outside of sports.
