Michael Penix Jr. on Washington to Big Ten: ‘They Better Be Ready’

Michael Penix Jr. made his case for the Heisman in a thrilling back-and-forth matchup against No. 8 Oregon on Saturday.

Penix threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 7 Washington to a 36–33 comeback victory in their biggest game of the season so far, moving the Huskies to 6–0 on the season and putting them in good position to make the Pac-12 Championship Game later in the year.

After the game, Penix delivered a warning to the Big Ten, where the Huskies would be playing next season after finishing out their stint in the Pac-12 this year: "They better be ready."

Penix's work this year isn't done yet, as the Huskies still have four opponents that are currently ranked left on their schedule for the season.
