Peyton not winning was part media hype “let’s vote for a defensive player for change!” But mostly Woodson played amazing in Michigan’s big rivalry game while those were the days when QBs were punished for not winning the big one and Peyton could not get over the spurrier / Gator hump. JD beating Bama last year was huge.

There was definitely an element of that, but he made huge plays in just about every close game they played. They didn't play many top tier teams, but he carried them in their big games on defense, offense and special teams. When you make games changing plays on offense ,defense and special teams, it gives you an advantage over guys that play on one side of the ball or whatever.
