The 8 plays that made Stanford's impossible comeback a reality

How, exactly, did Stanford do that? Oregon, which had a 99 percent win probability at two different times in the second half, seemingly had the game won. But some poor decision-making by the Ducks, plus some incredible plays by the Cardinal, along with a dose of luck, led to one of the craziest finishes you'll ever see, a 38-31 Stanford overtime triumph.

Here are the eight plays that changed the game.

The situation: Oregon ball, 1st and 10 at Stanford 17

The clock: 4:32 remaining, third quarter

The score: 24-7, Oregon

What happens: Oregon running back Jaylon Redd appears to score a touchdown, but he is later ruled to go out of bounds just inside the 1-yard line.
