Here is the bit from the article:
Q: You and fellow College Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim McMahon shared playing time in 1978. What do you remember about playing with McMahon?

Wilson: I loved playing with McMahon. Jim was a great player and teammate. The thing I love the most about Jim is during my junior year (in 1978), Wally English was coordinator, (and) it was a rough year. I don’t talk about it much. We had been so prolific with our offense and Wally came and changed everything and I don’t know if we even led the WAC in passing that year. Doug Scovil came back the next year and we got back to leading the nation. The interesting thing about Wally is he wanted to change everything offensively because, if he didn’t, he wouldn't be given credit. And he wouldn’t be given credit if it were the same players Doug had and system Doug used. One thing he wanted to do is change the quarterback. I’ve often thought about it. Jim was a young guy and he didn’t want to sit on the bench. It would have been so easy for Jim to fall into that, but he’d have nothing to do with it; he recognized it for what it was and he didn’t want any part of it. I’ve always loved him for that.
