Really nice "tale of the tape" from Hail Varsity. Worth a look, if you're interested in, for example how Westerkamp got so open on that last drive. Not really anything special Jordan did, just complete breakdowns on the MSU side.
The last Spartan drive is also a nice example of how good DT's can completely disrupt an offense without ever getting any statistics.
One shot of many below,
...that defender, who was lined up nearest to Westerkamp, basically plays zone while everyone else is in man. For some reason, the other safety has also come up on Carter. As you can see here, because the highlighted defender settles into a zone and guards no one at all, the outside corner is stuck having to cover both Reilly and Westerkamp by himself
