The performance by Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. last Saturday could be called a “Heisman-defining” moment, but considering he puts up video game-type numbers every week, it’s hard not to show love to the full scope of his work. But the game against Oregon was certainly the biggest test Penix and the Huskies have faced this year.
This is why when Washington was behind 33–29 with roughly 3:30 remaining and Oregon in possession during the fourth quarter, a clip of Penix on the sideline quickly picked up steam. The Heisman favorite wasn’t stressing, but instead, it appeared that he was actually rapping on the sidelines.
Fortunately, Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan took this clip to a different stratosphere to package under the elite moments of 2023, by confirming the quarterback was indeed rapping—freestyling about the comeback they were going to make against the Ducks.
