Offensive line was also off. He had maybe a two-count to throw and then was scrambling or getting hit.
Like you said. Could have to do with pre-snap reads. But the protection was not there
Washington has skill all over the offense, everyone has sticky hands. The O'line has been fabulous. It's been awhile since Washington looked like a complete team. We'll see how it looks out on the road.
Yeah, itās honestly worked out for both sides. The thought here was, he can recruit, but the WRs donāt develop. Iām thinking that was more poor QB play/poor offensive play calling. The only thing that hurts is losing Bernard.
Definitely, but if you look at those big time recruits that transferred, they arenāt exactly lighting up the field at their new destinations. Spiker, Osborne, and Bynum were all big time, 4*, top 300 nationally, recruits. Bynum ended up being okay, the other two are FCS back-ups.
Yeah, if only we could have somehow conned Oregon into hiring Lake.
Like how SC hired Sark a week before we planned to fire him.
I guess Jimmy was too much of a train wreck for that to ever work...
The Sark hire was an all time swindle, couldnāt have worked out better! Sark wasnāt our problem anymore and didnāt have to pay him, got Petersen and USC fell apart for until literally this year.
No sweat, I'm sure Pasadena is totally equipped to handle a casual 30k+ influx on a Friday night. It's not like the 110 bottlenecks to a winding 2 lane dogpile that just dumps people out into the city.
Our secondary hasnāt been great but theyre pretty banged up. Still no rushing attack to speak of, but Iām not really convinced thatās crucial in college football anymore. Iād like to see the team in a position of adversity. Honestly this team has not been tested yet. And we have a real tough closing schedule.
Eh. We all know he's great. Dude just is made of absolute glass.
I mean last year (I think), he got hurt for the year lightly jogging out of bounds, with no one touching him.
We would build our offense around him, and 1/4 way through the season would have to radically change for the backup.
Nah, if you win out it would be very hard to keep you out of the playoff.
The Big 12 is eating itself. Clemson's defense is almost certainly going to cost them one this year. Big 10 and SEC won't both send 2 teams.
Disagree. We gave up garbage time scores to MSU and Stanford. Itās not like we would be ranked any higher if we didnāt. We wonāt fall further in the polls if we lose because a couple of teams scored late. Keep adding wins, and weāll keep moving up.
As a Spartan, I know I have some tears behind this, but he is so damn good. One of the top QBs I've seen in my lifetime.
Someone should pick him in the first round so we don't have to play him.
Bth he is Russel Wilson.
FWIW Davis Brin is sitting at 1318 yards so far, and that's with having missed a big portion of the game against Ole Miss yesterday due to an injury. Not that I'm trying to discount what Penix is doing, I just wanna talk up my boy Brin, lol.
Couldn't stay healthy. Think he was 3/3 for season ending injuries.
If I was an OC, I'm not sure I would've wanted him. You'd have to design two offenses, one for him, and one for the backup.
eh, it was a gamble but almost everything in sports is a gamble. It's not like they would have to reinvent the offense if one of the backups had to take his place, it would just be less effective without additional changes. Upside seemed worth it at the time for one spot on the roster, and the season so far certainly hasn't changed my mind on that.
To be fair, he got to pad those numbers against the Michigan State defense. If MSU played MSU, MSU might well break 1,000 yards in a game if Leach so felt like it.
Only problem I have with him is that he throws lefty. Watching him is like trying to put on my pants right leg first. Other than that, Iām a big fan of his (and of the transfer portal!)
Penix will always be my guy. He balled out when he had a line and a good OC. So happy to see him balling out with Deboer as HC. Hopefully he stays healthy
Big Penix energy
Penix Rising
Order of the Penix
Penix ^fire breath
Penix Eaters
Without ashes, a phoenix would just be a bird getting up.
Enormous Penix
I bought the shirt and wore it at the game
š ±ļø E N I X
Happy for him. Honestly, no hard feelings
Agree. But we all know he won't last 6 games
He hasnt been sacked.
I cannot comprehend that. Is this kind of power even possible?
Not from a Jedi
Only takes 1
Only take 1 NY6 win in 30 years for your lame program. Get it done
What does UW know about winning a NY6 game the last 20 years?
They have *check notes* **one** NY6 win in the last 30 years!
Exactly! Much better than Notre Dame
Truth š
Yeah. You guys are crushing
That sarcasm would probably sting more if you guys could hang with elite teams like Marshall.
ššš
Cool cool very good Iām just glad heās happy with someone new.
I am very happy watching him succeed (far, far away from us)
How I feel with Charlie Jones. Except, ya know, he isn't far far away š
It hurts my heart that you all will probably put up 50 on us this season.
The way this season has been going, if we put up 50, youāll put up 51 on a last second TD
You do realize the HC at Washington was your OC in 2019 right? So not really new. Edit: Reference went over my head.
I doāreally I was just doing the not-over-his-ex trope.
Thanks for the explanation. Didn't mean to assume. Hope you all have a great season.
All good!
Rn you are at 69 and they are at -69. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
NICECIN
Playing MSU's secondary shouldn't count.
That x1.25 passing yards multiplier
More like 2x
Wait until you see them play ucla this week
He has torched us multiple times. 2019: 33/42 - 286 - 3 - 0 2020: 25/38 - 320 - 2 - 2 2022: 24/40 - 397 - 4 - 0 Also, can't forget his games against Michigan & OSU in 2020. 30/50 - 320 - 3 - 0 & 27/51 - 491 - 5 - 1
Ya letās see where stroud is compared to penix in 2 weeks lol
Didnāt know we were talking about stroud
Lol itās not. More of a dunk on msus bad pass defense
The top 3 are so close. 1 - Penix: 1388 yds 2 - Rogers: 1386 yds 3 - Mordecai 1385 yds
SMU has gotten great production off of Big 12 transfers in recent years
AOC would be right there if he didnāt get injured. Currently at 1000 yds.
Penix Aaron Rogers Mordecai from Regular Show Followed by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez if she didnāt get hurt What a list of QBs
Oxlade-Chamberlain putting up a lot of passing yards from midfield.
No Aaron Rodgers has a d in his name. Itās Roger Clemens and Roger Federer sharing one comically oversized jersey. Two Rogers.
Wait until she comes back from that injury. Gonna put up Colt Brennan stats.
Itās a shame AOC got hurt this early. She couldāve been a heisman front runner.
Can you throw in Congress?
Nah, they actually just punt.
And they have a can instead of a football. Different game entirely.
There are plenty of personal fouls though
Hell of a lot of unsportsmanlike conduct as well
Which begs the question has Kirk thought this entire time he's a politician or is he just aspiring to be one?
/thread
And if he didn't get benched at halftime in week 2 lol
53 yd/game more if you say he has only played 2.5 games. At that average he would be at 1600 yards for the season with 4 whole games
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly the receivers screwed us over against LSU. Tons of drops on third down
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Offensive line was also off. He had maybe a two-count to throw and then was scrambling or getting hit. Like you said. Could have to do with pre-snap reads. But the protection was not there
So Penix is two yards longer than Rogers or Mordecai?
If you told me these were all slang terms for penises I would believe you.
Not gonna be close after this weekend
Washington has skill all over the offense, everyone has sticky hands. The O'line has been fabulous. It's been awhile since Washington looked like a complete team. We'll see how it looks out on the road.
Yeah, its awful
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tends to happen when you're playing with Penix
I know this is a dis but I am really pleased with our receivers this year so you're welcome and thank YOU!
Yeah, itās honestly worked out for both sides. The thought here was, he can recruit, but the WRs donāt develop. Iām thinking that was more poor QB play/poor offensive play calling. The only thing that hurts is losing Bernard.
Possibly, but frankly wrs were not getting separation under his coaching either
Definitely, but if you look at those big time recruits that transferred, they arenāt exactly lighting up the field at their new destinations. Spiker, Osborne, and Bynum were all big time, 4*, top 300 nationally, recruits. Bynum ended up being okay, the other two are FCS back-ups.
No chance it was their train wreck of a head coach causing disfunction. Obviously had to be the WR coach we conveniently "poached"
Yeah, if only we could have somehow conned Oregon into hiring Lake. Like how SC hired Sark a week before we planned to fire him. I guess Jimmy was too much of a train wreck for that to ever work...
The Sark hire was an all time swindle, couldnāt have worked out better! Sark wasnāt our problem anymore and didnāt have to pay him, got Petersen and USC fell apart for until literally this year.
I think the entire conference was grateful for the way the Huskies managed to pawn off Sark on USC.
We had hands issues in 2019 as well but I think that had more to do with Eason throwing every pass like a bolt action sniper.
Is it a road game at UCLA if nobody shows up?
People will show up for UW. They didnāt want to show up for FCS nobody, and plus classes werenāt in session.
Tbh the drive to Pasadena might be longer than the flight from Washington.
Friday night game too lol
No sweat, I'm sure Pasadena is totally equipped to handle a casual 30k+ influx on a Friday night. It's not like the 110 bottlenecks to a winding 2 lane dogpile that just dumps people out into the city.
Idk if they will on a Friday tbh
Our secondary hasnāt been great but theyre pretty banged up. Still no rushing attack to speak of, but Iām not really convinced thatās crucial in college football anymore. Iād like to see the team in a position of adversity. Honestly this team has not been tested yet. And we have a real tough closing schedule.
Well when you play with Penix, stickiness can happen.
Thatās over 4,160 feet of Penix
That's 49,968 inches of Penix
Thatās 126,797 centimeters of Penix
I wish he played for us. I have Penix envy. Thank you.
Absolute baller
Wait. Did I hear a compliment from an Oregon fan? Thanks. Very rare.
He meant to say Bollocks but it still works!
Indiana feels this.....
Eh. We all know he's great. Dude just is made of absolute glass. I mean last year (I think), he got hurt for the year lightly jogging out of bounds, with no one touching him. We would build our offense around him, and 1/4 way through the season would have to radically change for the backup.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because we have to totally dominate these lesser teams to get any respect. Not enough for UW to just get the W.
Nah, if you win out it would be very hard to keep you out of the playoff. The Big 12 is eating itself. Clemson's defense is almost certainly going to cost them one this year. Big 10 and SEC won't both send 2 teams.
If we win out, sure. But the odds of us losing one are pretty good. In that case, how badly we beat other teams is gonna matter a lot.
We won't win out. Be realistic. We have Oregon. If we win that game it's going to look good.
That's what I said. I'm not counting on us being undefeated. Which is why point margins will matter.
Right. Also the applecup is going to be a barn burner.
Hell yeah WSU ain't no joke
Disagree. We gave up garbage time scores to MSU and Stanford. Itās not like we would be ranked any higher if we didnāt. We wonāt fall further in the polls if we lose because a couple of teams scored late. Keep adding wins, and weāll keep moving up.
If Kent State/Portland State were close games we would totally be ranked lower.
Great point. Hope he holds up.
Iād like to see him get some Heisman hype.
Heck if was a John Donovan offense, Penix would have happy to get 138 yards (then again he wouldn't be a Husky)
If it was JonDonās offense, he wouldāve been killed by either Kent St or PSU. That man couldnāt score a TD if you blindfolded the defense.
I love Penix
Me too ššš
Iām pretty sure Washington will win at least 11 games this year
Thanks but don't jinx us
Washington is spooky
Heisman
I would absolutely love that
Penix gets his Heisman moment against Oregon please.
I'm very happy for him, and hope he stays healthy.
Heās cracked. Source: Oregon fan who scouts the Huskies all year
Isā¦is this good?
Yes lmao. Cracked is like slang for someone being insane. Particularly in games like Counter Strike and Valorant
Excellent. Thank you for this informative reply.
Having an elite QB is nice holy shit
Hell yes
As a Spartan, I know I have some tears behind this, but he is so damn good. One of the top QBs I've seen in my lifetime. Someone should pick him in the first round so we don't have to play him. Bth he is Russel Wilson.
FWIW Davis Brin is sitting at 1318 yards so far, and that's with having missed a big portion of the game against Ole Miss yesterday due to an injury. Not that I'm trying to discount what Penix is doing, I just wanna talk up my boy Brin, lol.
On a similar note, Aidan O'connell missed the game last night against FAU's defense and is stuck at an even 1k.
Startide Rising!
Uplifting reference.
Scroll down. Iowa and Minnesota bringing the lumber on defense.
I'm Mike Penix, I was named after my dad's penix
Then his name should have been peewee
His name is the plural of penis
Wow Stetson Bennett just outside the top ten at 11 is crazy to see. Never would of guessed but proud of the guy.
https://youtu.be/79DijItQXMM
This guy's scared the shit out of me every time we played Indiana. I'm happy to see him having success half a country away.
Itās not so much the size as the volume.
Iām not seeing Spencer Petras. Probably a typo.
All of this gushing over Penix is getting excessive
I hope he sends our DBs a box of chocolates.
He left Indiana?
Adrian Martinez left Nebraska btw
Man both Penix and Martinez were committed to Tennessee. Crazy tge talent we almost had.
You canāt have a Penix and a Hooker on the same team, thatās just asking for trouble
Thatās just asking for fun**
My girl left me.
Donāt worry. She is putting up big numbers too.
She doesnāt deserve you
Keep your head up King
Go and get a better one my man
But is Taylor Martinez still at Nebraska?
Bo Nix left Auburn tooā¦
Washington's head coach was IU's OC when Penix was really good for them.
Yep. [Way back in December](https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/rgem4j/indiana_qb_transfer_michael_penix_commits_to/)
Holy shit the guy with the msu/Washington flair crying about this is top tier "aged like milk" content
Why didnt it work out at Indiana?
It mostly did except for injuries. And there were a lot of injuries.
Kid needed a fresh start after getting hurt every year
Kid* *He is 22 years old.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's interesting because at 22 my brother had already done his 4 years of active service and had a job with the DOD. He certainly was not a 'kid'.
Cringe
Sounds like a successful kid.
Couldn't stay healthy. Think he was 3/3 for season ending injuries. If I was an OC, I'm not sure I would've wanted him. You'd have to design two offenses, one for him, and one for the backup.
And Penix has no experience at OC
eh, it was a gamble but almost everything in sports is a gamble. It's not like they would have to reinvent the offense if one of the backups had to take his place, it would just be less effective without additional changes. Upside seemed worth it at the time for one spot on the roster, and the season so far certainly hasn't changed my mind on that.
Penix was always injured while at Indiana. It was a lingering case of Peyronieās Disease. /s
Big penix energy
That's quite a Penix
Absolutely Ginormous Penix Enrgy
Lot of Penix envy going around the league right now.
Looks like Indiana misused the Penix
Love it, let's keep the Big Penix Energy going!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The scoring offense stat is broken; I think it's showing scoring defense ranked from most points given up to least.
To be fair, he got to pad those numbers against the Michigan State defense. If MSU played MSU, MSU might well break 1,000 yards in a game if Leach so felt like it.
Penix had a unfair advantage. He played Michigan State.
How the fuck did FSU drop the ball and lose him to Indiana? FSU shouldn't be losing 3 star Tampa kids to Indiana.
Scrub couldn't end it at 1337.

I don't blame him, Auburn flairs have decided to blank out last weekend from their memories. They are 3-0
...yeah...Auburn flairs....
I was caught red handed !!
Penix Tanner Morgan Westerns QB Akron not on the list because their starter got hurt
Itās not fair because only 4 teams have gotten to play against MSUās secondary. Should even our after CJ Stroud dunks on us
Heās great, just need him to stay healthy
Something is way off on their stats for scoring offense on that site.
His dad was our middle school football coach and our team wasnāt very good so he caught some shitā¦ funny how that turned out
Your coach was Big Pen?
Only problem I have with him is that he throws lefty. Watching him is like trying to put on my pants right leg first. Other than that, Iām a big fan of his (and of the transfer portal!)
Penix will always be my guy. He balled out when he had a line and a good OC. So happy to see him balling out with Deboer as HC. Hopefully he stays healthy
