IU QB Michael Penix’s risk-reward
Michael Penix to Ty Fryfogle is a thing of beauty🔥🔥

For as great as Indiana quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. has been in offering dual-threat ability, his passing prowess isn’t as explosive as it looks on the surface. Sure, he’s made some huge throws resulting in explosive plays to his wide receiving corps, but he’s only completing just over 60 percent of his passes and averaging just 7.1 yards per completion.
Penix hasn’t been horrible at throwing picks, but he doesn’t have the accuracy of a quarterback that’s going to sling the ball all over the field and make the secondary pay. Because of that, if OSU can contain Penix on the ground, there’s a good chance this Ohio State defense can slow down the Indiana attack.
