The lights went out late in the fourth quarter with less than four minutes to play at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium and it was not in Stanford’s favor. San Diego State came out from what seemed like a second halftime, and had all the momentum for the win. The lights came back on in the stadium after a 25 minute delay and Rashaad Penny had a 6 yard rush that eventually lead to the game winning touchdown by David Wells from quarterback Christian Chapman. The Cardinal couldn't answer the bell: with just 52 seconds left in the game Keller Chryst threw an interception to Kameron Kelly on the ensuing play to end the game.
