MU Redhawks Gameday Program - October 13, 20072027 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.

Football Digest, February 20052229 views"Roethislberger, our cover boy this issue, has been the biggest surprise of the season. Drafted this year with the 11th pick overall, the Miami of Ohio product has guided the Steelers back to prominence. While his numbers don't compare with those of, say super-QB Peyton Manning, he has played with a poise that belies his years. The Steelers weren't expected to do much of anything this year, but thanks in large part to the work of their rookie QB, they have emerged as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Roethlisberger is a lock to win the Rookie of the Year award, and he'll get even better in future seasons."

2872 viewsRoethlisberger's arrival created no visible tension or competition in camp - a contrast, perhaps, to the rookie Eli Manning vs. veteran Kurt Warner duel on the New York Giants. Maddox realizes that the Steelers didn't bring in Roethlisberger to keep him benched for long-term, but he has been supportive of the rookie. "I think everybody's been looking foward to this season," Maddox said. "We have people who want to win. I think we're going to surprise people."

November 13, 2007 - Ben named Steelers Player of the Week for Browns Game2145 views"Dramatic comebacks don't usually happen in the NFL without great play from the quarterback, and the Steelers got that from Ben Roethlisberger through the second half [of their game against the Browns].
During a second half that had the Steelers come back from a 21-9 deficit to win, Roethlisberger completed 13 of 17 for 170 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 146.7. He also ran for 40 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown.
He is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.
Also considered were James Harrison, who forced two fumbles on defense and made two special teams tackles: Clark Haggans, who lead the special teams tackles: and Heath Miller, who caught five passes for 72 yards, including the game-winning touchdown."
