Stanford takes over at their 26 with 1:40 to play and all of their timeouts.
3 straight incompletions. Horn is now 9-28.
9-29 after another incompletion on 4th and 10.

This handoff thing is evidently really hard, as we butcher another one.
4th and 4 from the 20. 38 yard field goal is good. 24-18, 0:31 to play.
