I think he will end up like a place like FIU

Nope.  Sorry, Scott, but you were wrong.  :)

@Barrel Rick you’ve been quiet, what do you know about this situation my friend?

First time for everything

The guy that was their quarterback has been pretty underwhelming, so I would think that Penix probably steps in with the expectation of being the starter from the get go.

memphis, my man..

 

i’ve received many texts and calls over the last week asking for some inside information regarding Mike’s portal experience; and it’s been hard to contain the beans as i’ve known of his commitment for weeks.

i sat down with him over some flapjacks earlier this week to discuss his decision, and this is what he had to say..

 

”washington offered me strippers, Ricky; simple as that.”

 

while most believe that the primary factor behind the result was ex-Hoosier OC Kalen DeBoer; it seems Mike has other priorities.. 
 

another key-point that Mike continually drove home throughout our discussion was his love for the Washington mascot; Harry the Husky..

 

”that’s a cute a$$ dog, man.. i just want to snuggle him all night,” Penix admitted to me..

as for us Hoosier fans; i think this decision was definitely what’s best for us moving forward as the now-former Hoosier quarterback performed similar to the likes of Ryan Seacrest under center this season.

 

best wishes to ya’ Mike;

try not to suck..

Penix will start at Washington. 

Just watch: He'll start every game, throw for 4,500 yards and 40 TDs against 8 picks. LOL!

Do they have a good option 2 for the second half of the season?

I think there's a better chance he'll have a pretty good game against a decent opponent, then the backup will come in for some reason, then Washington will announce he has an undisclosed injury of some sort and they aren't sure how long he'll be out.

Wow I must be jaded. I read that 3 times to say, "has an undislocated injury"... :)

Granted, it's only against Kent State -- but Penix is looking sharp so far. 

UW 21, KSU 7 through a quarter.

15/19 184 2 TD

Yes.

It’s 28-7 now

Penix just threw another TD

It’s only Kent State but he is throwing ropes.

Wish him the best and hope he stays healthy.

Want nothing but the best for Mike. UW 2nd favorite team this year by far. 

[MemphisHoosier]

Penix looks great so far against KSU.  Between him and the UW coaching staff, it makes the Huskies an easy squad to root for on the west coast.

I’ll be happy for the kid but not going to lie if Penix finally has a healthy year I might have to break something

He has a ton of talent/skill but he's made of glass so the probability of this happening is pretty low. I think he'll get injured around game 6.

Game #3...Michigan St.   Let's see how he is after that one.

It seems 2 of his injuries occurred without contact??  Fleeing the pocket?  Kid is certainly talented.  It's easy to root for him to be his best.

His injury during the Covid year happened when we ran a designed run for him which worked beautifully because we almost never had him run (due to injury issues). He easily picked up the first down and was going to try for the end zone, but then he saw that there were two defenders that were likely going to stop him from getting there and he pivoted to go out of bounds. As he was running out of bounds he hurt himself...so unfortunate as he was trying to avoid contact.

I think he can stay healthy if he nevers runs the ball. But in the end, that's going to limit Washington a bit offensively.

I remember NFL All-Pro running back "Fragile Freddy Taylor" who got that nickname after missing a good part of his first four NFL seasons. Fred Taylor went on to a 10,000 yard+ rushing career and was indestructible in the second half of his career.

Past injuries do not always equate to future injuries. If injuries have a lasting effect (like Mo Creek) that's a big roblem. But if Penix is fully recovered he may be just fine, and he's a heckuva good college QB.
