Griffin collects second Heisman
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ohio State’s Ar
chie Griffin, major college football’s
first 5,000-yard runner, overcame
his lack of size, survived the taunts of
11 teams determined to ring his bell
and became the first two-time win
ner of the coveted Heisman Trophy
Tuesday.
“There was a lot of pressure this
year,” the 5-foot-9, 184-pound
senior tailback said after becoming
the first Heisman repeater, succeed
ing where four others failed — Ar
my’s Doc Blanchard, Doak Walker of
Southern Methodist, Ohio State’s
Vic Janowicz and Navy’s Roger
Staubach.
“Being tagged the Heisman win
ner, naturally guys on other teams
were after me more this year. They
all tackled me clean, but they might
say a few things like, ‘Get up, Heis
man Trophy-winner.’ ”
Griffin, who has rushed for 5,176
yards in four seasons, will wind up
his collegiate career in a fourth con
secutive Rose Bowl against UCLA.
He captured the 1975 Heisman by
a landslide over running backs
Chuck Muncie of California and
Ricky Bell of Southern Cal. Griffin
received 454 first-place ballots, 167
seconds and 104 thirds from 888
sports writers and broadcasters ac
ross the country. On a 3-2-1 basis,
that amounted to 1,800 points. Mun
cie (145-104-87) received 730 points
to 708 for Bell (70-169-160).
Rounding out the top 10 finishers
were running backs Tony Dorsett of
Pitt, Joe Washington of Oklahoma
and Jimmy DuBose of Florida, quar
terback John Sciarra of UCLA, run
ning back Gordon Bell of Michigan,
defensive tackle Leroy Selmon of
Oklahoma and quarterback Gene
Swick of Toledo.
Griffin carried four of the coun
try’s five sections — East, South,
Midwest and Southwest — finishing
behind Muncie in the Far West.
“I really tried not to think about
the Heisman all year but I couldn’t
really get it off my mind a whole lot
because people kept reminding me
about it,” Griffin said. “I got it off my
mind just enough because I had a job
to do every Saturday.
“In a way, it was a relief to get out
on the field on Saturday even though
I was getting hit pretty hard and I’d
be banged up half the week. The
hitting was a lot harder this year. It
was rough out there.”
Griffin rushed for more than 100
yards almost every Saturday starting
with his sophomore year. He was
stopped short in last season’s Rose
Bowl against Southern Cal, but his
regular-season streak of 100-yard
games reached a record 31 before
Michigan held him to 46 in the 1975
finale.
In winning the 1974 Heisman over
Southern Cal’s Anthony Davis by
1,920 points to 819, Griffin rushed
236 times for 1,062 yards. This sea
son, he carried 245 times for 1,357
yards.
“I think I helped the team more
this year because my blocking and
pass-catching was better,” Griffin
said.
“We didn’t run into dirty football,
but they just loved to tackle him,”
said Coach Woody Hayes, who ac
companied hometown hero Griffin
from Columbus, Ohio, to New York
for Tuesday’s announcement.
The matched pair of Heismans will
look nice on the Griffin mantelpiece,
but Archie said he’d “trade both of
them for the national championship.
That’s been th$ goal of our team
since I was a freshman. This is the
closest now we’ve ever come. People
think of the national championship as
more of a team thing than the Heis
man Trophy.
“But the Heisman is a team
trophy, a team award. No matter
how good a back is, you can’t do any
thing without the other backs and
the line blocking for you and the de
fense getting you the ball. Our offen
sive line meant everything to me. It
was the best line I played behind in
four years.”
“A lot of people told me I was too
small to play at Ohio State, ” Griffin
recalled. “But my high school coach
told me it’s not the size of the dog in
the fight but the size of the fight in
the dog that counts. That really stuck
with me.”
