USA TODAY Sports Weekly - Nov 25th-Dec 1st Issue2007 viewsFrom the article entitled, "Roethlisberger: Calm, collected amid chaos":
One vision of the big, strapping dude, viewed through this hard-bitten city's prism of black and gold, is that of a scraggly disheveled Gen-Y quarterback who often seems to scramble from potential trouble, balancing the football chip on his shoulder with the wild-child in his soul.
Yes, Ben Roethlisberger, a risk-taker on and off the field, has a lot of experience trying to flee the rush of life as it pursues him from all sorts of angles.
All swagger, the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback sometimes stumbles and gets slammed. Other times, he avoids harm's way. Roethlisberger continues to operate in a hurry-up mode this season, often shrugging off would be pursuers - be they hard-charging defensive ends, fawning fans or hovering news media.
Big Ben is even more brilliant as the clock ticks and the Steelers quickly operate their no-huddle offense, something he has done since his high school days in Findlay, Ohio. Roethlisberger, remarkably mobile for his size, seems most effective when a play breaks down and chaos ensues.
The quarterback's deft improvisational skills often enable him to avoid peril but not always. He has been sacked 169 times since the 2006 season, by far the most in the NFL.
"My favorite thing (as a kid) was playing backyard football," he says, looking every bit the college kid with a curly mop of tousled hair and stubble beard. "I've always loved that. I guess that's what I'm doing, just out there playing ball. I try to play the game with a lot of heart and passion. I hope it shows."

MU Redhawks Gameday Program - October 13, 20072028 viewsBen (in the background) returned to Miami for a pre-game ceremony for the retirement of his jersey number.
On Saturday, October 13, 2007, Miami of Ohio retired Ben Roethlisberger's number. It was the first time in 34 years Miami has retired a football jersey number. Ben became only the third athlete in Miami football history to have his jersey number retired, joining John Pont and Bob Hitchens.
The former RedHawk quarterback, now a star with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, led Hoeppner's 2003 club to 13 consecutive victories, a Mid-American Conference Championship, a victory in the GMAC Bowl and a No. 10 ranking in the final national polls. Roethlisberger earned Third-Team All-America honors during his record-breaking junior season and became just the third Miami player to capture the Vern Smith Award as the Mid-American Conference Most Valuable Player.
Ben holds school records for career yards (10,829) and touchdowns (84).
He was selected with the 11th overall pick in 2004 by the Pittsburgh Steelers -- the highest draft position of any Miami player in program history. Ben led the Steelers to victory in each of his first 14 NFL starts, leading Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship game and being named the NFL's Rookie of the Year. One year later he led the Steelers to a 21-10 win over Seattle in Super Bowl XL.
