Marcus Allen American Quotations

I was saying earlier that it's really strange - you can almost step outside yourself and observe yourself running, and that's what I was doing.

Going in, I knew I wasn't one of the top ones, because I didn't even make the pre-season All-American team. That shows you what people thought of me right there, so I knew I had to go to work.

I was happy that right away we played Tennessee, I was happy that we played Oklahoma right off the top. Those games certainly helped me.

At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.

You've got to be extremely careful, because you could be with a great team, and you could be the product of a great team. There are some players that stand out despite the teams that they play on, and there are some players that are good because of the team that they're with.
