A play that reverberates

Dee Brizzolara broke tackles, sidestepped defenders and ended up in the end zone. And in the process, he lifted Chicago to a 24-20 win, snapped Case Western Reserve's 38-game regular-season winning streak and damaged the Spartans' playoff hopes. The impact of Brizzolara's TD reverberated across the playoff picture and helped it become the D3football.com Play of the Week:
