1970s
Steve Davis
Never mind his 2,124 career rushing yards, or that he graduated as the third-most efficient passer in OU history. Here's all you need to know: 32 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie, 2 national championships.
1980s
Jamelle Holieway
Switzer's other national title-winning quarterback, he rushed for 2,713 yards and was a more efficient passer than Davis.
1990s
Cale Gundy
Set every OU passing record worth noting and came up big in two bowl blowouts as MVP of the Gator and John Hancock.
2000s
Sam Bradford
Josh Heupel won a national title, Jason White played for two, but nobody put up the numbers, or had the allure of OU's last Heisman Trophy winner.
