He made a few bad throws that would have made the difference. The pros took notice. He also has injury concerns. He’ll get drafted as a ‘project’ and not a franchise cornerstone to build around.
I feel bad for Penix and Washington. The reason the passing stats were so poor compared to normal was that Michigan was grabbing Washington receiver’s jerseys on every play, slowing them down, but never called. As usual with Michigan and Harbaugh, they have to cheat to win.
I wish the Huskies would have played like that against my Ducks. Either time!
Seems like I've heard that story before.
Face reality. The bottom line is.......
Michigan won.
Poor guy looked like he was really hurting on both sides of his abdomen near the end.. but he kept pressing on.
….and yes, this was not called holding against Michigan.
he’s also 26YO and has major injury concerns
...the Huskies’ highest-ever Heisman finisher at No. 2 this season...
Right there is the problem. AA gave him the runner-up when clearly it should have gone to Bo Nix. And between Nix and Daniels, I’d say it was a deadheat on who shoulda won the award. This was my assessment after crunching all the stats. And I know I am a nobody.

The key was that the Michigan defense shout down Penix’s passing game. He’s a really good passer. More than 4600 yards this year. But he never came up against Michigan’s defense until the title game. Michigan’s defense was a defense for the ages.
