If you’re a transfer quarterback who wins the starting job at a Power 5 program, the pressure is on.
Good thing for the Washington Huskies that Michael Penix Jr. is their man.
The Indiana transfer was unshakable in Saturday night’s season opener against Kent State, throwing for 345 yards and four touchdowns, with no interceptions.
The most impressive number of the night for Penix was his success under pressure, as Pro Football Focus gave him the highest grade of any quarterback in the nation this weekend when under duress.
We’ll see if Penix can keep up these kinds of numbers in conference play, but the early returns are encouraging for Huskies fans.
