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.

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. Marcus Allen americanknowmake Change image and share on social
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. Marcus Allen backcandidategain Change image and share on social
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. Marcus Allen closefeltgain Change image and share on social
