Marques Hagans Quotes

«I think my God-given abilities just took over. I felt hands grabbing at me. I don't remember where I went or how I got out. I just knew that I got out and started looked for receivers.»
«I just wanted another chance to redeem myself. It was just a matter of us going out there on that last drive and executing. We always work on two-minute drives and four-minute drives, so it wasn't anything new to us.»
«Syracuse got pressure into the backfield a lot quicker, so they altered some of the timing I could use to go through my [passing] progressions. Coach says that, 'If you're going to make a decision, to go ahead and do it.' My God-given ability just takes over and I was able to make some plays.»
«When second or third comes along again, they're going to be more concerned about what the quarterback is going to do in there. Maybe that's less pressure for me to worry about and that gives me more time for my progressions or opens things up for a running back to get a first down.»
«It's a long season, and it gets even longer on the next level (NFL), so I think the bowl system is a good thing. Playoffs might work, but not like bowl games. I hope they stick with the bowls in college.»
«They told me I could come to school right away. They wanted me to 'prop,' but you lose a year under Prop 48. I didn't want to do that and my high school coach [Mike Smith] didn't want me to do that, so he made a call to Coach [John] Shuman at Fork Union. I wanted all my turns to play.»
«I couldn't believe I dropped that punt and then came back to throw an interception. I thought, 'It can't get any worse than this.' I just kept fighting and my teammates rallied behind me.»
«It's good those coaches got promoted to the jobs they did . . .. I think the team rallied together and everyone assumed individual responsibility, and the win is good. It's gratifying.»
«I'm pretty comfortable now, there are still things I need to learn, like running routes. That takes a little time, but I feel confident in myself.»
«I just want to play.»
