Grading the Game: Oregon State

Statistically, it wasn’t Michael Penix Jr.’s biggest day, and was the first game all season he failed to throw for 300 yards, ending up with 298, a touchdown, and an interception. His 5.7 yards per attempt were also by far his worst mark of the season, and the high wind gusts surely played a factor. The pick six before halftime was...bad. But, Penix delivered when it mattered most, including on a number of 3rd and 4th downs and leading the team on an 18 play 92 yard drive in which he went 9/11 for 66 yards. Another standout game for the offensive line too, who gave up zero sacks.
