Today, our staff picks for the top five linebackers in Wildcat history. Former Minnesota Viking, now FOX talking head Ben Leber, received no votes in our poll, although wildcat00 did make a point of acknowledging his existence. That ought to tell you how deep the list really was. Also not making the cut: the second and third musketeers in 2003, Ted Sims and the late Bryan Hickman, and current Arizona assistant Travis Ochs, who will forever have a place in our hearts for sacking Eric Crouch on a completely clean and non-controversial tackle. Ahem.
5. Terry Pierce
Although as a freshman Pierce was an integral part of the 2000 squad which roasted Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl, he did his best work during the gap between that season and the 2003 miracle.
