"I am not into numbers. I am into wins and losses, hopefully wins. If winning helps the numbers, that's great. The only stat I am concerned with is interceptions."
Max Knake, 1994 SWC Co-offensive Player of the Year

"What makes Max special is that he makes very few costly mistakes. He simply takes advantage of whatever is available in order to get a win. It is obvious that he has learned to compete with tremendous composure and poise. Plus, he demonstrated throughout '94 that he has learned to put an excellent touch on his long throws."
Pat Sullivan, 1994 SWC Co-Coach of the Year
