"That's why, to experience that, you know for a fact that a human being is capable of so much more, because to go to that place and to step outside yourself and observe yourself do these things, while the rest of the world is moving in slow motion, is really incredible."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Marcus Allen
"I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games."

"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."

Television

Quote_1.png
Marcus Allen
"It really lasted the whole game, because I was really untouchable, unstoppable that game. But it was heightened on one particular play, and that was the longest run where everything completely slowed down. My awareness was so keen, it was so heightened, it was really amazing."

Awareness

Quote_1.png
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

"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."

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

College

Quote_1.png
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."
