the chin-strap tight and be ready to
go to battle. Nothing’s going to be
easy this Saturday, we’re going to
have to earn it.
“I did watch the Oregon game
last week and
they play with
a lot of emo
tion. When you
play Oregon,
it’s going to be
a battle.”
After Wash
ington’s three
nonconference
games, 'Ihia
sosopo has
passed for 646
yards and three touchdowns, and
carried for 168 yards and two
touchdowns. He runs the option as
good as anyone else in the country.
Statistically, he played the best
game of his career last season
against Stanford, decimating the
Cardinal defense with a school
record 509 yards and carrying his
team to a 35-30 victory. Hiiasosopo
connected 19 of 32 passes in that
game for 302 yards and a touch
down, while rushing for 207 yards
in 22 carries for two touchdowns.
But Washington head coach Rick
Neuheisel believes that T\iia
sosopo’s best game was four con
tests before the Stanford matchup.
“A year ago against Oregon he
played what might have been his
best game,” Neuheisel said. “I
know everyone talks about the
Stanford game and the numbers he
put together, but against Oregon, he
was 17-for-21, threw for over 200
yards and three touchdowns.
“He may not have had the total
offense numbers, but there were
very few mistakes and we are going
to need that same kind of perform
ance from him again if we are going
to win.”
Despite a 3-0 record and being
considered for the prestigious Heis
man Trophy, Tuiasosopo said he
has not lived up to his own stan
dards this season. He points to the
Huskies’ win over Colorado as an
example, a game in which he threw
two interceptions in the second
quarter.
The buzz in Seattle is that Wash
ington could find itself vying for a
national championship this season
— a feat that has little room for er
rors.
“I can play a lot better than I
have been'this year,” Tuiasosopo
/ did watch the Oregon
game last week and they
play with a lot of emotion.
When you play Oregon, it's
goingtobeabattle.
Marques Tuiasosopo
Quarterback,
Washington
said. “Luckily, the small mistakes
I’m making haven’t been effecting
our wins, but they could in the fu
ture, so those need to stop. I have a
lot, lot more room for improve
ment.”
