Wrong Way Riegels

Historical Account★★★★

In the 1929 Rose Bowl, California’s Roy Riegels recovered a fumble and began running full speed toward his own end zone. His teammates finally tackled him at the 1 yard line, but Georgia Tech scored on the next play, which became the winning margin. Forever after that, he was known as ‘Wrong Way’ Regals.
