News about Chris Weinke

Outzen, who started for the Seminoles in the first BCS Championship Game in 1999, died due to complications from a rare immune deficiency disorder, according to The Tallahassee Democrat.  The former college signal caller, who earned the nickname 'The Rooster' for his red hair, was reportedly recently diagnosed with HLH (Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis), which is a severe systematic inflammatory syndrome.  Outzen played for FSU from 1996 to 2000 and is best known for stepping into the starting role in the 1998 season after quarterback Chris Weinke suffered a neck injury.
