Penix Jr and this UDUB team = 2019 Burreaux and LSU’s NATTY team

I’m the biggest UW fan but the defense is gunna be the big question and deciding factor of the season

i think all hoosier fans really took him for granted. I miss him so much

[@jimhimesjr]

He kinda reminded me of a little taller Randle el when at IU. Both guys were the team, running all over the field and could throw pretty well. Randle el was the only qb I’ve ever seen returning kicks/punts lol

[@collind91]

Big Penix Energy is that fearlessness that he shows to take shots deep with surgical precision. leading the country in explosive plays and it's going to keep going. go Dawgs!

Penix is the man

Yes, Washington is terrified of playing Minnesota, Northwestern, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers. Washington's all time record against the Big 10.45-42-1.

[@BucksBites]

The way the Huskies are playing rn I think most B1G teams are worried THEY will get smoked
