Quotes by Max Starks
By any means necessary. We overcame every obstacle and adversity the devil put in front of us.
By the time I was ready to go (back in), Willie (Parker) was running down the sideline (45 yards). They didn't need me.
I love the city. All my family is up there. I've been going there for many years, so I'm looking forward to going back.
I'm not going to say he's a marked man. But after the game, we'll be looking for him to see if he's going to direct the band again.
I wanted to let them know how much I appreciated them all - coaches, teachers - for everything they did for me. I felt very personal about that. You never want to forget where you came from.
It was a regular counter play and Willie ran through the linebackers and took off. When I saw him running, I knew I couldn't catch that man. I'd see him in the end zone.
They're not going to be able to keep eight in the box if Ben is in there, so it's something we're looking forward to.
