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.

BC, thanks for posting this 15:00 clip - at least half of which featured ND's offense and some outstanding plays by Lynch.

But what struck me about this clip:  in about 15 plays of Stanford on offense, we saw more formations, more misdirection, more scheming people open than we've seen in the last 10 years under Shaw.  The difference is so stark.  How about the TD play to JJ Lasley (which may be one of the most well-conceived offensive plays ever run by Stanford)?  And then the big third down pass to a wide open TE late in the game? THAT is scheming people open - something completely missing under this regime.

It's sad what Stanford's offense has devolved to over the last decade.
