The Fumble Rumble is the nickname given to one of the most stunning plays to end an American college football game. It occurred in the Las Vegas Bowl a.k.a. Las Vegas All-Star Classic between the Western Athletic Conference All-Stars vs the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (later the Big West Conference) All-Stars.
On the last play of 38-38 tied game, UNLV Quarterback Randall Cunningham rolled out for a long downfield pass. University of New Mexico defensive lineman Rich Bradford rushed in and blindsided Cunningham causing the ball to flip end over end in the air. In one motion, Bradford grabbed the ball from mid-air and scampered 28 yards for the touchdown as time expired.
