Jason Palumbis (born July 15, 1969) is a business executive and former American football quarterback.
Palumbis was a highly recruited quarterback from Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon who played college football at Stanford University.
With 12 seconds left, Palumbis threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Ed McCaffrey to make the score 25–24.
Stanford failed to convert the two-point conversion, and the Cal fans rushed the field, thinking the game to be all but over.
Cal was penalized 15 yards for delay of the game while the field had to be cleared, and Stanford's Dan Byers recovered the ensuing onside kick.
