1. How much has your life changed since winning the Heisman Trophy?
INGRAM: "Everywhere I go, people recognize me. They meet me, want to take pictures. That's exciting; something you dream of as a kid. Having kids come up to you, saying you're a role model for them and they want to grow up like you are, it's humbling, a blessing.
"I'm excited I can impact a younger person's life like that. That's real special to me, real touching to me."
2. As the defending Heisman winner, you've probably heard from some of these player agents who have recently gotten players in sticky situations. How have you dealt with those people?
INGRAM: "We have a great program in our organization that teaches us how to deal with situations like that. Everybody is educated on how to deal with situations and approach those situations. My main focus right now is on this football team and this football season, so anything else is irrelevant to me.
"I really don't pay any attention to anything else but whatever it takes to become a better player individually and help this team win games."
3. Few Heisman winners have to worry about splitting reps with teammates, but sophomore Trent Richardson is also a special talent. How would you describe your relationship with him?
INGRAM: "We compete every single day. He makes me better. I make him better. It's nothing but an advantage to our team just to have a 1-2 punch like that. Because when I'm in there, I'm fresh. (And) he comes in, he's fresh. We're both making plays, both being explosive. It's nothing but an advantage to our team.
"He pushes me. I push him. We both get better by it. He's great. He's like a little brother to me."
4. Obviously, individually and as a team, you've already achieved the highest levels of collegiate success. Does that make it easier or more difficult going forward?
INGRAM: "It's never going to be easy, but we know what it takes to get back to that point and win the championship. We know what we did, how hard we worked. But now we're working even harder. We've got to keep pushing ourselves harder because we have a bull's-eye on our back. Every team is going to give us their best shot when they play us. I'm sure we're circled on everybody's schedule this year.
"We're not worried about anybody else but ourselves, trying to get better, putting ourselves in the best position to win each game each Saturday and taking it one game at a time."
5. Does your team have what it takes to defend your national championship?
INGRAM: "We believe we have the players, the athletes, the mentality we need to give ourselves a chance to play for a national championship again and win it again. I think we have a lot of our players coming back on offense. But on defense, we lost a lot. We have a lot of young guys that step up and they're play-makers, get to the ball, make a lot of plays. They're fast and explosive. They do a lot of great things on that side of the ball. I think they can be better.
"It's a matter of everybody individually getting better, then us improving as a unit, gelling as a unit, to give ourselves the best opportunity to win each game each Saturday one game at a time. Hopefully that will lead us to a national championship again."
