Stanford interrupts mid-game Andrew Luck interview with incredible scoop-and-score TD

Andrew Luck knows all about the Stanford and California rivalry having played in it during his time as the Cardinal quarterback. Luck is the general manager now at his alma mater, and he is as passionate of a GM as there is in the sport.
During the game on Saturday night, Luck showed that passion as the Cardinal scored a huge touchdown while Luck was being interviewed on the sideline.
Here’s a clip of the moment:
California was up 7-3 when Stanford defensive back Jay Green returned a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown to give Stanford the lead.
Luck was the quarterback in Palo Alto from 2008-2011, where he threw for 9,430 yards, 82 touchdowns and 22 touchdowns. He finished second in the Heisman Trophy race in 2011. In his final two seasons, the Cardinal won 23 games, which broke the previous record of 18 wins in a two-season stretch.
Luck became the general manager in November of 2024, and he promised to get the program back to the level it was when he was playing there. Head coach Frank Reich is in that role on an interim basis, so the Cardinal will be looking for a long-term coach this off-season.
