The Daily Hoosier Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 That decision to run out the clock rather than score? Mark Dantonio had seen enough of Michael Penix. “I didn’t want to give them any time the way they’d been throwing the ball” What are your thoughts on having Penix at QB for another 3.5 seasons? https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-same-frustrating-story-but-future-feels-different-with-penix-at-qb/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadOne Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I would agree. I was pleasantly surprised to see some nice touch on his passes. Previously, I questioned if he had any touch as everything seemed to be thrown on a line. I will add that Sio needs to play more even if it's just first and second down. By far the most stout defensive lineman we have versus the run. Ball has pretty much disappeared. Also, Bedford played better than any game I"ve seen Cronk play all year (and that's being nice).

BobSaccamanno Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Long way to go but I am not going to be surprised if both Penix and Bedford end up as first round draft picks or close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not run two plays, if possible, at the conclusion of the first half instead of running down the clock taking a knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, end of the half...come on. If we're past our own 25, let him uncork a couple. Send Whop, Westbrook, Ellis and whoever else for a hail mary and let MP get it to them.

Leathernecks Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I hope we have Penix for 3.5 more years. I worry he'll be good enough to head to the NFL before then, but that is obviously a really good problem to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd settle for 2.5 more years, some Heisman talk, a semi-major bowl and a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering where the program has been for so long why did you leave cure cancer from the list? In all seriousness he is the best prospect at the QB position that we have had in quite some time. Cant wait to see what the future holds for him and the Hoosiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happens, top defensive players will want to be a part something special as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he's actually two-for-two. If he finishes a game, he's the B1G freshman of the week. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Penix would be way high in the country in passing yards if he hadn't gotten hurt. We're 11th as a team as it stands. We're 20th in PYG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's solid across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a freshman. I could see throwing up an asterisk if it was 20 straight vs Southwest Saskatchewan A&T with half of them being flares or screens. This was 20 straight completions of various lengths, against a legitimate defense. Borderline mind blowing if you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
