NORMAN — Inspired by a little free time and another reminder that Soonersports.com, having already polled fans for their top 10 Oklahoma games of the century (you know, since 2000), is now taking votes for the top plays, 20 of which you may watch while surfing the site, I’ve decided to cast my votes, taking Bob Stoops’ entire Sooner era into account.
• Best mantra: No excuses.
• Best season: 2000. Duh.
• Best player: Jason White.
• Best defender: Roy Williams.
• Most underrated player: Nate Hybl.
• Most overrated player: Josh Heupel. (Note: Sacrilege, I know, but the first half of 2000 and the second half of 2000 were like day and night. But stick around, Heupel’s in on Best Play, even if it’s not one of the 20 soonersports.com has put on its ballot.)
• Most underrated cast of players: 2000 defense.
• Most singular performance: Tie. White, at Texas A&M, 2004; Antonio Perkins, against UCLA, 2003.
• Most important game: 2001 Orange Bowl.
• Three most important games: Red October, 2000 (Texas, Kansas State, Nebraska).
• Worst play call: Stoops’ onside kick at Fiesta Bowl last season. (Note: Like Dimaggio’s hitting streak, this one’s untouchable).
• Most emotional win: At Kansas State, 2000.
• Solitary heroes: Torrance Marshall, at Texas A&M, 2000; Roy Williams, vs. Texas, 2001; Renaldo Works, against Alabama, 2002; Clint Ingram, Holiday Bowl, 2005.
