Stanford fan here.
While cleaning out my garage I found a VHS of the 1993 game between Colorado and Stanford, so I uploaded it to YouTube:

Kordell Stewart was QB. Both Rashaan Salaam and Lamont Warren had 100-yard games. Bill Walsh had come out of retirement the previous year to coach Stanford.
Spoiler alert: Stanford won 41-37. Stanford was down 10 points with 5 minutes left to play, but Bill McCartney's arguably-correct decision to punt on 4th-and-1 from his own 46 gave Stanford the ball back with enough time to come back.
The go-ahead touchdown was scored with just 8 seconds left. It's at 03:08:46 of the video. The catch was questionable, and it almost certainly would have been ruled incomplete today. But also by today's standards CU safety Dwayne Davis would likely have been called for targeting.
In theory Stanford could have kicked a field goal to tie the game, but this was 3 years before the college game instituted OT rules. There's no way Walsh would have gone for a tie.
