Tuttle obviously wasn't the answer, but TBH -- before he got hurt (again), Penix was not good last season. 

But he's still immensely better than Tuttle. Our coaches, any coaches knew that. There wasn't a time where we should have wanted Penix benched.

Our incredibly well versed fanbase wanted this individual benched for Tuttle last year. Hilarious 

He sucked last season. But it’s now clear that it was because your guy Tom Allen utter failed to put anything resembling a P5 team around him.

As well as a middle school coaching staff

I don't think he had fully recovered yet. He tore his ACL the last weekend of November the previous season. I thought last year he looked slower and weaker than in 2020. There were a couple QB sneak attempts where he got pushed backward. It's not unusual for guys to look that way when they're less than a year removed from that injury.

An offensive line and a coach do wonders

Healthy Penix was a no-brainer over Tuttle. Unfortunately Penix did not appear to be physically or mentally ready to go last season.  He was a shell of his former self.

Good for him that he looks completely different (ie back to normal/healthy/not hesitant or anxious etc etc) this season.

FYI,

Mike and the Huskies are playing under the Friday Night Lights this evening. 

Kickoff vs. No. 23 Oregon State is at the bottom of the hour on ESPN2 (that's 10:30 p.m.).

I am torn do I root for Penix or my alma mater?

Wow the RB Martinez for the Beavers is a freshman and a beast.6 carries for 74 yds with 4 mins left in the 1st quarter.

Michael Penix would obviously helped this year.  But with him we're still a horrible offense.  Bad receivers, bad line, no running game doesn't change just because of a quarterback.  I also have very little doubt that if Penix were still at IU that he'd be hurt.

Glad he's found somewhere he is having tremendous success.

Is Penix on his way back to Indiana?

This fellow has the Colts drafting him in the first round.

Man, he's got a whole arsenal NFL traits, but #15 overall would be insane given his history. I sure hope it happens for him though.

Any spot on day 1 or day 2 for him would be excellent.

Remember, he hasn't made it through this season yet.

Kalen DeBoer: also very good at Washington.

Sigh ... 
 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Penix just caught a throwback pass and went 30 yards untouched into the end zone. 

Oh, how I miss him and DeBoer. 

[Hoosierfan2017]

Penix has 381 yards tonight.

We didn’t throw for 381 yards over the last 3 games of the season :(

[LamarCheeks]

Washington wins 51-33.

484 yards passing for Penix.

On the same day our starting QB gets injured in a noncontact injury, Penix finishes the regular season, playing in his 12th game. 

IU football IS cursed.
