In two epic Pac-12 battles this fall, Michael Penix Jr. edged out Bo Nix.
Penix threw for 621 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions in the wins.
Nix matched him nearly throw for throw, racking up 576 yards, five touchdowns and one pick and also rushing for 83.
Penix’s Huskies, of course, logged victories of 36-33 and 34-31 en route to a conference title and 14-0 start before losing to Michigan in the national championship game.
This spring he and Nix are just two of many interesting quarterbacks in the 2024 class, but they are trending toward being of particular note as it relates to the Broncos.
