I'm holding up pretty good. I just had my 60th birthday in August and I get along pretty well. I work out at least 3 times a week. I do have some problems with my ankle and back that pop up now and then, but that can happen whether you play the game or not. Other than that, I feel pretty good.

I thought when Johnny won the Heisman that it was fabulous. It showed me that the voters were willing to give the Heisman to the players that they felt were deserving. Before that, there was a bit of a stigma that freshmen shouldn't win. But Johnny had such a great season that voters voted for what they felt was appropriate and gave it to Johnny. I'm really okay with the fact that a freshman won the award.

Johnny has a chance to start this week against my pro football team, the Cincinnati Bengals. I wish him luck, but I'm a Bengals fan!

That's a clever question. No, I've never really boasted about the fact that I've got two, but I feel grateful that I was fortunate enough to win two. I've always said that me winning two was the result of me being in the right place at the right time with the right people - being at OSU, playing with my teammates, and having great coaches. I really feel blessed to have two and those are the reasons it happened.

That's a great question. That's the difference from the time when I played. We didn't have 24 hour sports on radio or TV, nor the social media aspect of sports. I think I would have been okay with it, I've done a lot of thinking about how I would deal with it from a social media standpoint. I always tell young people now that you can't pull back the text or the things that you put on social media, so you really need to think about what you're saying. I would like to believe that I would have followed those same rules as I was coming up.

That's a great question! Right now, the injuries are the big thing in all of football. Safety and welfare of the players is probably the thing that's going to be around for a while. The game of football is a very physical sport and injuries do and always will occur. We need to make sure we have the best equipment and we're teaching the best techniques to keep folks from being injured.
