From today's paper, which got the questions from heisman.com:
Without looking,
- What Heisman winner was once tackled by a future US president?
- What Heisman winner also played in the basketball Final Four?
- What Heisman winner later coached another player to the Heisman?
- What two teams played in a game that featured four future Heisman winners?

-- Actually it was someone Ford tackled: the first winner, Jay Berwanger
#2-Charlie Ward
-- Good guess--Ward was drafted by the Knicks--but it was the 1962 winner, Terry Baker of Oregon State
#3-Steve Spurrier
-- Yes, he coached Danny Wuerffel in 1996.
#4-USC and Notre Dame?
-- You got one right: "The fabled scoreless tie between Army and Notre Dame at New York's Yankee Stadium in 1946 featured four players who won the Heisman. Army's Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis and Notre Dame's John Lujack and Leon Hart were in the game."
Pretty good guesses!
