Marshawn Lynch is getting a bobblehead on the 10th anniversary of him taking off around the field in a University of California injury cart to celebrate the Golden Bears overtime victory over the Washington Huskies, according to CBS Sports.
Before he became the “Beast Mode” star of the Seattle Seahawks, Lynch was the starting running back with California and scored the decisive touchdown in a 31-24 victory over Washington in 2006, noted CBS Sports.
After Desmond Bishop sealed the game for California with an interception on Washington’s final overtime possession, Lynch commandeered the cart and drove around the field while players and fans celebrated around him at California Memorial Stadium, noted ESPN.
“I got the interception at the end of the game,” Bishop said, according to ESPN. “There was a crowd (on the field), and we were walking back. Then we see Marshawn whipping it, ghost riding the cart. At first, a lot of people thought it was me because we both wore No. 10. He was all excited. We didn’t really think nothing of it. It was funny at the time. That was it. But after the game, you found out it was such a big deal.”
Lynch recently announced his retirement from the Seahawks in February after leading the team to back-to-back Super Bowls, winning the NFL title in 2014 against the Denver Broncos.
Cal issued a Twitter post Wednesday, announcing that it was immortalizing the cart ride with the bobblehead.
