[size=12pt]At a time when Stanford was physically not the equal of the better teams we played, Nelson was a superior athlete to most defenders.  So if Stanford could get the ball to him out in the open (or "in space" as they say now)he was very likely to make a single tackler miss.  And he was very fast and strong for his size.  A lot of fun to watch.
