ON 2006 CAL WAS AN ODDS UNDERDOG TO STANFORD. BUT, CAL BEAT STANFORD BECAUSE OF THE GREAT RUNNING OF VEREEN WHO, THAT DAY, OUT RAN MACAFFY (A SO CALLED HEISMAN CANDIDATE) THEREBY LEADING CAL TO TAKING THE GAME AWAY FROM .STANFORD. BUT STANFORD WON THE BIG GAME EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS AFTER THAT'! GERBEAR

We had Marshawn Lynch in 2006.

If you are talking about Vereen in 2009, then McCaffrey joined Stanford 5 years later in 2014.
