17 years after TD at Miami, Quincy Wilson still going strong

(‘3 Guys Before the Game’ podcast with Quincy Wilson)

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Quincy Wilson is perhaps best remembered for a play that covered 33 yards in 11 seconds. Trailing No. 2 Miami 19-13 with 2:13 to play in their 2003 matchup at the Orange Bowl, Wilson caught a screen pass from Rasheed Marshall, evaded three tackles, barreled through and leaped over Brandon Meriweather for a touchdown.

According to Wilson, that play wasn’t dissimilar from many in his final season at West Virginia.

“If you watch my senior year, I was a second effort, keep going, you better bring five or six guys to bring me down type of guy,” Wilson said.
