The best defensive game by a Stanford player was hands down Ed Cummings versus Michigan State in ‘62. Literally all over the field. But the best defensive game ever in Stanford Stadium was by Dave Chaney of SJS in 1971. Seemed like he made every tackle  but I think he was credited with 25 solos.

This game by John Lynch against Notre Dame was pretty good.

You beat me to it.  Lynch's hit on Bettis, best hit I've ever seen.

Best non-hit...Elway to Margerum over Lott, 1980.  Stanford at USC 46, Elway throws it 61 yards in the air, past the disbelieving Ronnie Lott for Stanford's only TD.  USC had won 27 straight, had a football graduation rate of 51% and was ineligible for the Rose Bowl (natch).
