Nacua Bowl III: Pass-catching brothers for Utah and Washington will meet in Seattle.

Utah receiver Samson Nacua would create quite a scene Saturday in Seattle if he caught a touchdown pass, sprinted to the “W” in the middle of Husky Stadium and screamed at his brother Puka on the Washington sideline.

That’s how Nacua celebrated the touchdown pass he threw as a substitute quarterback for Timpview High School four years ago, when his brother was an Orem freshman. The demonstration drew a mild rebuke from the referee, by Nacua’a account, in his team’s 35-20 victory.

Known as one of No. 9 Utah’s most emotional players, Nacua will be slightly more subdued on the field in Seattle.
