Washington quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo (ball carrier) is shaping up to be a Heisman Trophy candidate in his senior season.
‘Tui’ ready to face tough crowd
■ Washington quarterback
Marques Tuiasosopo, whose
father was an NFL lineman,
has football in his blood
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
Marques Tuiasosopo is the kind
of quarterback defensive coordina
tors have nightmares about.
He loves to pass, and he can run.
His unpredictability makes him a
dangerous weapon because oppo
nents don’t know how he will hit
them.
“I love to throw the ball, that’s my
passion,” Tuiasosopo said. “I’m for
tunate enough to have the ability to
run the ball, but I prefer throwing
the ball.”
Athletic greatness flows in the
Tuiasosopo family. His father,
Manu. went to UCLA and had an
eight-year NFL career until 1987.
His younger brother, Zach, is a
freshman linebacker for the
Huskies. His sister, Leslie, played
for the Washington volleyball team
that reached the final 16ofthel997
NCAA Championships. He had 10
cousins and one uncle who played
college football, and four of them
also went pro.
Now, the 6-foot-2,220-pound Tu
iasosopo, a Heisman Trophy candi
date, anchors the Pacific-10 Confer
ence’s highest-ranked football team.
He is the reason why many football
analysts picked the Huskies to go to
the Rose Bowl this season.
On the brink of rewriting several
pages of the Washington football
record book, this Tuiasosopo may
surpass the achievements of any Tu
iasosopo before him.
And he’s coming to Autzen Sta
dium on Saturday to try and derail
the Ducks’ 17-game home winning
streak.
“They have a really great, hostile
crowd that’s really good at distract
ing and disturbing you,” Tuia
sosopo said about the challenge
ahead. “They’re in your ear all game
long.”
In the last meeting of the two
teams, Tuiasosopo racked up 234
all-purpose yards en route to a 34
20 Husky victory. He called plays
that picked apart the Oregon de
fense piece by piece, keeping the
football in Washington’s hands for
38 minutes, 26 seconds of the game.
The Ducks’ offense spent less than
22 minutes on the field.
Tuiasosopo knows that this time,
the going will get tougher.
“It doesn’t really matter what
happened before this game because
each year is different,” he said. “You
always know you’ve got to strap on
