The author refers to Hilgenberg and Bortz as two former Iowa offensive linemen. I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain Bortz played on the D-Line at Iowa and went to the offensive side once he got to the NFL.

Confirmation on this would make me feel better. The memory might not be what it used to be.

Yes, Bortz played defensive line for the Hawks. He was very instrumental in Hayden's first trip to the Rose Bowl. I loved watching him play, especially the UCLA game that year.
 
I write these kinds of lists for Bleacher Report and we have a rule that you can't go back more than seven years.
