Ohio State's Archie Griffin is the only two-time winner (1974-75) of the Heisman Trophy.

As a junior at Ohio State in 1974, Archie Griffin was named to every All-American team and was called "the greatest football player I've ever coached" by Woody Hayes. Combining power, speed and an uncanny ability to break four or five tackles on a single play, he smashed the all-time record for running backs in the Big Ten, amassing 4,064 yards. As a senior in 1975, Archie extended his record of consecutive 100-yards plus games to 31, his overall yardage to 5,176 and became the only player ever to win the Heisman twice.

Howard Cassady - 1956, Ohio State
Eddie George - 1995, Ohio State
I know what their experiences were like. We played for a school with a great football tradition. Everyone of these men have done many great things in life.

A couple of guys from my era
Tony Dorsett - 1976, Pittsburgh
Earl Campbell - 1977, Texas
They're both great friends and special people.

Favorite Heisman season memory
I guess that would be the game against Purdue in 1975. I ended up breaking the NCAA rushing record in that game. It was really more of a team record. Personal records simply aren't possible without teammates.

Heisman presentation memory
The emotion of recieving the first Heisman in 1974 stands out. When I was given the Heisman, I broke down and cried. When I look back, I remember being embarrassed about it at the time, but not any more. It was a special, overwhelming moment. It's an honor to be associated with such a special group.
