Give credit to Michael Penix, Jr.
Indiana’s Michael Penix Jr. is the first opposing QB to throw for at least 400 yards against Ohio State at Ohio Stadium since Purdue’s Jim Everett (497) in 1985.

I knew Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was going to have to play the game of his life for the Hoosiers to pull off the shocker. He did that today and almost brought his team all the way back from a big first-half deficit.
Anytime a guy throws for almost 500 yards, it’s worth noting. Penix did that by standing tall in the pocket and putting some pretty good throws on point in the face of adversity. His wide-receivers also made plays after the catch, but it sure looked like the Indiana quarterback was the Heisman candidate instead of the one wearing Scarlet and Gray.
Tip the cap.
