No way -- it's gotta be Clete. He just made another tackle against OU. The most mild-mannered, unassuming guy off the field (still is) whose switch just went on at game time. Dang, there's another tackle against OU.John McCormick is my choice.
Another thing that stands out for me about Pillen is that at a time when OU had a group of all-time studs like Daryl Hunt, Reggie Kinlaw, Zac Henderson and Jerry Anderson, OSU had John Corker and Colorado had Ruben Vaughn, Pillen took home Big 8 Defensive POY honors.No way -- it's gotta be Clete.

If I may plug my old friend Paul Potadle for an honorable mention. He'd be the first to tell you he'd never be on anybody's "best of" list. Walk-on guard from Tekameh, toiled on the JV team, scout squad and as a tackling dummy for four years. Finally played enough to letter as a fifth-year senior. He won't mind me telling this story -- his last practice in Memorial Stadium was the day before leaving for the 79 OU game. He was pretty emotional leaving the field afterwards, which Dr. Tom picked up on. He stopped Paul and quietly said to him: "I wish everyone practiced as hard and as well as you." Potadle sat down on the sideline and cried his eyes out. To this day he'll tell you that it was one of the proudest moments of his life.
PS. Clete just made another tackle against OU.
