In 1970, Vataha caught a 96-yard touchdown pass from Plunkett, the longest touchdown catch in Stanford history until it was surpassed by a 98-yard pass from Joe Borchard to Troy Walters in 1999. He scored the last touchdown in Stanford's upset of Ohio State in the 1971 Rose Bowl and is a member of the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame.
