Grading the Game: Oregon

Take a bow, Michael Penix Jr. What is there to say about the quarterback’s magnificent 408 yard and 2 touchdown performance? His 62-yarder to Taj Davis was a pinpoint accurate throw few quarterbacks in college can make or would even attempt, and he threw it on the money, to tie the game. The Huskies were aggressive throwing downfield all night, with only 17% of throws behind the LOS, compared to 39% for Oregon. His accuracy, decision making, and ability to read the defense lead to a stunning 29 yards per play on 3rd and long with a 100% success rate.
