 Trojan quarterback Toby Page, who had replaced an ineffective Steve Sogge, called a pass play, then saw the Bruin linebackers drop back into pass coverage.He changed the signals before the snap, calling an audible ("23 blast"), and handed off to Simpson.Simpson would later recall standing in his halfback position, hearing the audible and thinking to himself "Toby, it's 3rd and 7; this is a terrible call."
