They told me I could come to school right away. They wanted me to 'prop,' but you lose a year under Prop 48. I didn't want to do that and my high school coach Mike Smith didn't want me to do that, so he made a call to Coach John Shuman at Fork Union. I wanted all my turns to play.
More Quotes from Marques Hagans:
Syracuse got pressure into the backfield a lot quicker, so they altered some of the timing I could use to go through my passing progressions. Coach says that, 'If you're going to make a decision, to go ahead and do it.' My God-given ability just takes over and I was able to make some plays.Marques Hagans

It's a long season, and it gets even longer on the next level (NFL), so I think the bowl system is a good thing. Playoffs might work, but not like bowl games. I hope they stick with the bowls in college.

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.

When second or third comes along again, they're going to be more concerned about what the quarterback is going to do in there. Maybe that's less pressure for me to worry about and that gives me more time for my progressions or opens things up for a running back to get a first down.
