Quotes by Marques Hagans
He really stayed after hours and asked me to come out and throw with him and he really took the initiative. And it's paying off.
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.
I couldn't go back to the sideline with a safety on the board facing coach Groh. So there was no way ... I would've thrown it in the stands before they took me down.
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.
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 have to give credit to my strength and conditioning coach and to my quarterback coach for me being in good enough shape to run like that at the end of games. Coach Mike always makes me run after practice even though sometimes I get mad. But I appreciate it because it has paid dividends down the stretch.
I'm just looking forward to getting a chance to get on the field and make some plays. If you're a football player, you can adjust to anything on the field.
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'm tired. But the win was so big. We had lost two in a row and the season was on the line.
