"To be a winner of that, and to fall in the long line of traditional great backs at USC, to have your name in perpetuity, the fact that your parents are like icons... that's the greatest thing."

Fact

Marcus Allen
"But there is something to the fact that we don't see games on the West Coast, or we don't see games on the East Coast, and stuff like that. It's so unfair, because there is a bias that takes place."

Fact

Marcus Allen
"You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now."

Running

"It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing defensively and then what our guys were doing every single play."

Learning

Quote_1.png
Marcus Allen
"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."

Teamwork

"It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team, how can you be the best player in college?"
