I think that you had better check something other than Wiki.

I remember when Kaepernick was a freshman at Stanford and beat USC by the score of 14-13. It was considered to be a huge upset.

After the game, the sports journalist on the field asked to speak to Harbaugh. He pointed at Kaepernick and said, “Speak to him. He did it. Not me,” or words to that effect.

Kaepernick was a redshirt at Reno in 2006. In 2007, he became the starting QB at Reno midway through the season. 2007 was Harbaugh’s first year as Stanford’s HC. That year Stanford beat SC 24-23. Stanford’s QB that day was Tavita Pritchard.

You don't mention the year you think you remembering this happening.

My data comes from the stanford website: http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/2007-2008/teamstat.html

2004 USC 31 Stanford 28
2005 USC 51 Stanford 21
2006 USC 42 Stanford 0
2007 Stanford 24 USC 23
2008 USC 45 Stanford 23

OK. So no Stanford 14-13 victories over USC in time frame of Colin potentially at Stanford under Harbaugh, who came to Stanford in 2007. T Pritchard was the QB who beat USC in 2007.

The reason no pundit has mentioned Harbaugh's prior relationship with Kaepernick at Stanford is primarily because he did not attend Stanford under Harbaugh. I checked the rosters as well during the timeframes above. No Colin.

I would love to know what your mistaken memory actually refers back to, though. Were you drinking more in those days? (just kidding around)
