If UW gets to the CFP, Penix wins the Heisman.
Rather easily.
Ehhhhh...
If they get there with the balanced offense from yesterday, I don't think he would have the gaudy stats that other guys will have. You don't win the Heisman in September or October.
He’s the No. 1 passer in the country. You think UW is gonna pass/run for 200/200 each game the rest of the way? I don’t. They won’t be able to run on anyone like they did against USC. But even if they do, his numbers are going to look great if UW goes undefeated.
He’s #1 in total passing yards, but that’s basically it. And has been steadily losing ground across the board. Nix, Daniels, etc, will have gaudier stats by the end (unless Penix goes nuts down the stretch). To fend off McCarthy, I think UW would need to go undefeated.
Disagree that “that’s it.” Most games he is throwing very tight windows and hitting bombs in perfect stride. That’s more than total passing yards.
You’re probably in love with Nix’s padded stats based on 4 yard completions.
It's getting really easy for QBs to put up big numbers in current college football. If people actually watch Penix they'll see he's making different kinds of throws, makes big plays in big moments, and really dictates if his team wins or loses.
