Watching Indiana win these past few weeks, its quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., has been a story worth following. Everyone saw his highlight play in the win against Penn State, but he has made highlight plays in every game he has played this year. Penix was not thought to be quite as dynamic as he’s been this season, but here we are talking about what a difference-maker he is.
Penix has made some ridiculous throws in the face of pressure this season. He is a gunslinger who can also beat you with your feet. If Penix can keep be Superman for Indiana, the Hoosiers will be a tough out. He makes everyone else around him better, and those types of quarterbacks can be very dangerous.
