California Golden Bears Athletics
Roy Riegels Bio
The protagonist of one of the most famous plays in college football history when he went 69 yards the wrong way after scooping up a fumble at the Georgia Tech 30 in the 1929 Rose Bowl until teammate Benny Lom spun him around at the Cal one and he was tackled by the Yellow Jackets … that play may have obscured his many talents … He earned first-team All-America honors in 1929 as a center as named by AP and Central Press … served as Cal team captain in 1929 and helped the Bears to a 7-1-1 record.
