Huskies survive 24-21 -- and were very lucky to do so.

Good luck in the Big Sky, Wazzu

Is there a back story as to why Penix is being hidden and scurried away like he's in a boy band?

Really hope he isn’t hurt. Kind of thinking he just has a lot riding on him and it’s a release of emotions. It was definitely a weird scene.

I told my dad never count out Nick Saban when the game is on the line.

Washington and Washington State are tied with less than a minute left with the ball deep in Wazzou teritory -- and Penix is throwing the ball all over the place. 

Just move the ball forward, get it where the kicker likes it -- and boot the winning FG. 

I don't get it. 

Kid had missed 3 of his last 4 before that game winner. The game winning kick didn't look that great either

Florida's not very good this year, but that's still a nice win in The Swamp for FSU -- a week after losing their starting QB.

They could have done worse, though I imagine A&M world ain’t gonna love it.

Wonder what kind of buyout A&M signs up for this time.

Not so fast my friend, he staying at UK

College football fanbases/donors bullying athletic directors out of hiring a coach they don’t want remains hilarious.

Good for him. I kind of like the guy and A&M is a deceivingly crappy job.

Can IU get some of those to help out the AD with the football coach? Coaching search committees might be a thing of the past, but I’d prefer someone who knew more about what a successful football program looked like making the hire

Heard, but I sure wouldn’t be looking to A&M for these successful decision-makers lol.

Do these guys really not account for that? “Hey, our lunatic fanbase wants the Ohio St guy(which is all you need to know about their judgement), but I think the UK guy would be really good here. So, I’m going with my guy ‘cause I’m sure they’ll just swallow it.”

A&M thinks they are better than what they historically are.

Good guy, but he wouldn’t perfect for Texas AM. Stoops has better job security at UK winning 6-7 games a year. At Texas AM, they probably want like 9-10 win seasons on average under him. I don’t know much, but it sounded like another Tennessee-Schiano situation.

And it'll get doubly worse now that aTm has to directly compete with Texas again.

Texas A&M thinks they should be in the CFP mix every year.  But they never are.

They usually are from early signing day until about the 3rd week of August.
