I don't know David but I do know his dad, Clete. I know his uncle Jim very well. Most of the posters here are probably to young to know the Pillen/NU legacy. Clete was All Big 8 as a linebacker and set records for tackles as previously noted. Uncle Jim started at monster (safety) in the late 70's and was All Big 8 and an Academic All American . He recovered Billy Sims' (Heisman) fumble on the Husker 3 yrd line late in the game in '78 to save the game and beat OU for the first time in TO's career. Sports Illustrated had a two page spread photo of Jim with his hands raised above his head holding the football after the recovery. I have an autographed copy. So David has just a bit of genetics going for him. Oh, and by the way, they are both very classy individuals.
