The band reaction is an awesome video

Can't find it now, but the writeup on Sports By Brooks or some similar site on the band reaction, marveling at their "emotion combined with cold professionalism" was epic. Those drum majors were on point that night.
One of Stanford's student newspaper writers did a fantastic column on their crowd's reaction to the play, as they were watching the game on the jumbotron at their stadium while waiting on their own game to start. EDIT: Here's the Stanford Daily article, one of the most read articles in the history of their newspaper. Winston Shi and the Big Bang of College Football
Perhaps the best writeup was a Wisconsin alum who was on a college football big game bucket list tour, and had picked that game. He said he was so emotionally drained after the game that they didn't even have the energy to go to Toomer's, despite it being one of their bucket list events to attend. He posted detailed writeups of every bucket list game they went to on the Wiscy Scout board.

What an incredibly written article. I had forgotten about this.
Sports writing and journalism in general has fallen off the steepest cliff it could have in the decade since. And this was a college kid.
Incredible article

If it's the guy I'm thinking, as the OP says it's been a while ago, he passed away in the last year.
