Marcus Outzen, the previous Florida State quarterback who began the primary BCS public title game, kicked the bucket at 46 years old. His son posted an announcement about his death on social media Tuesday night. Outzen passed on in Tampa, Fla., after as of late being determined to have Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, an uncommon resistant issue, as per the Tallahassee leftist. From 1997 to 2000, Outzen, whose red hair earned him the nickname “The Rooser,” played primarily as a backup for Florida State. When Chris Weinke suffered an injury late in the season, he was promoted to starter in 1998. Outzen helped lead the Seminoles to triumphs in his initial two beginnings, procuring a spot in the Celebration Bowl. In the inaugural BCS championship, Tennessee prevailed 23-16. Outzen completed 72 of 121 passes for 1,074 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions over his four years at Florida State, and he also ran for 142 yards and three scores. He was important for the Seminoles’ 1999 public title group. Bobby Rhodes, his former Florida State teammate, told the Tallahassee Democrat, “Marcus was a good friend to a lot of people.” “Individuals enjoyed him, here and there the field. This is so miserable.”
