Watching TU's too-often outmatched defense this past season got me thinking about some of the defensive greats we've had over the years. So I decided to compile an all-time TU defensive team by position, going back to 1963, the year I started following TU football. These selections are all guys I've seen play, and who I remember as being awfully good.
DT: Willie Townes, Kevin Lilly
DE: Dennis Byrd, Tracy Scroggins
OLB: Zaven Collins, Barry Minter
MLB: Chris Chamberlain, Mike Bryan
Corner: Cornell Webster, Nate Harris
Safety: (tie) Jeff Jordan, Ralph McGill
I'd like to hear folks' thoughts. Disagreements?
