Washington State had a 4th and 1 from the California 46-line and decided to run the famous "tush push."
Unfortunately for Washington State, quarterback Cameron Ward was on top of the pile and forward momentum hadn't been stopped. California defender Cade Uluave forced the fumble and recovered it at midfield. The ball fell from the behind the pile and Uluave had the awareness to pick up the ball. The rest of the Washington State team assumed the play was dead, but Uluave proceeded to run the ball back for a touchdown.
The officials never blew the play dead and as a result, California got six points. It was one of the most unique scoop and scores you'll ever see.
