Oregon Daily Emerald: What is your pre-game preparation ritual like?
Jeremiah Johnson: I pretty much stay to myself, pray, listen to some music.
ODE: What are the top three you listen to?
JJ: I’d have to say Lil’ Wayne; Earth, Wind, and Fire; and a little Marvin Gaye.
ODE: Do you normally watch ESPN College GameDay?
JJ: I do.
ODE: Will you be watching it this Saturday?
JJ: I guess we’re gonna have to, but it’s gonna be kind of weird with it being here. I’m just really, really excited about everything that’s going on with all the pub that Oregon is finally getting.
ODE: How does your running style differ from Jonathan Stewart’s?
JJ: I’ve got a lot of shakes. I’ve got the stiff-arm, as you might know.
ODE: How do you feel about the MySpace page dedicated to your stiff-arm?
JJ: I like it. I check it from time to time. I like seeing what people have to say on there and it’s something for me to do.
ODE: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo Wii?
JJ: Xbox 360 all the way.
ODE: Favorite games?
JJ: NCAA 08 and Madden 08
ODE: Are you leading the nation in rushing on your NCAA 08 season?
JJ: Yeah, I am. (laughs)
ODE: Who would you say is your closest friend on the team?
JJ: Jonathan Stewart, he’s my buddy. Since freshman year he’s been my roommate and he’s just a good friend and a good guy.
