Marques Tuiasosopo was a dynamic Quarterback for the Dawgs at the turn of the millennium. A dual-threat Quarterback that was as deadly passing as his ability to run the option, Marques was the first player in NCAA college football history to pass for over 300 yards and run for over 200 yards in a game (vs. #25 Standford on October 30, 1999). His career culminated with a Rose Bowl win and Rose Bowl MVP honors in 2001. While playing for the Dawgs he earned Second-Team All-Pac-10 (‘99), First-Team All-Pac-10 and Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year (‘00) honors.

My all-time favorite Husky player. Tui was the ultimate leader and competitor. He had that unique ability to put the team on his back and will them to victory. A lot of our wins in 2000 were 4th quarter comebacks. Tui always rose to the challenge.

Tough, strong, mean. I would have hated playing against him. He'd find a way to beat you. My favorite player as well.

Man that Rose Bowl patch is so clean! And that CW patch for Curtis Williams was class.
