He really broke open the game

I would almost say "singlehandedly", but there is no "singlehandedly" in football.
Up 17-16. Pinned down on your own 5. Prior four drives for the offense were:
3 plays for -2 yards
1 play, INT
7 plays for 22 yards ending in a fumble
8 plays with a botched punt snap, netting 18 yards on the drive with no punt (effectively a turnover)
One 95 yard run later, the ND is back to a comfortable margin and the stadium goes silent. Next four drives: TD, punt, TD, TD.
His TD run against Stanford wasn't quite the turning point, but it definitely set the tone for the rest of the day.
