Expectations High for Penix Jr's Performance in Crucial Game

00:03 - I think it's a huge bounce back.
00:04 They're laying 26 and a half in this ball game.
00:06 They've won two straight in terms of the series.
00:09 Won this matchup last year, 40 to 22.
00:12 But you're talking about a defense to your point,
00:13 giving up 315 in the back end.
00:16 But Ben, 54% per down defense,
00:20 one of the worst in all of college football.
00:22 If Michael Pinnock has success early and puts up points,
00:25 I think it's gonna be a long day.
00:27 We saw Stanford struggle with Colorado
00:30 and Shadur Sanders.
00:31 The only difference is I think Washington,
00:33 because of how inconsistent they've been,
00:36 I don't think they stop.
00:37 I think they start early.
00:39 They build a first half lead.
00:41 I think they throttle them today.
00:42 This is one of my better bets
00:43 in terms of the Pac-12 schedule.
00:46 I like Washington big today, Kev.
00:48 - Yeah, look, the numbers are there for Panic Stock.
00:52 We have a monster.
00:53 One thing is they book is yardage big time anyway, right?
00:57 - Yeah.
00:57 - You need them to throw for 340 to clear the top.
01:00 - You could do that in the first half.
01:02 That's a thought.
01:03 - Not three, I don't think you can throw for three.
01:04 - Sure.
01:05 - 292.
01:05 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06 No, that's no problem.
01:07 The number that's actually out there
01:08 that for me actually has a lot of value,
01:10 but it's tricky because a lot of times,
01:12 if you see a number at minus 170,
01:14 you're creating a huge stat of this world.
01:17 But there's a minus 175 on Panic
01:19 to throw three passing touchdowns.
01:21 If he doesn't throw three passing touchdowns,
01:23 I can't really fathom the world.
01:26 Caleb threw three, Nick's threw four,
01:27 Shadur Sanders threw five against his team.
01:30 Panic just comes off now his third game ever at Washington
01:33 where he had zero passing touchdowns.
01:35 The first two times that happened,
01:37 the following game he threw for four.
01:39 So I'm thinking about playing a three and a half,
01:41 but I didn't want to do it
01:42 because I know it's not comfortable for people,
01:44 but I was almost going to make the best bet today,
01:46 two and a half passing touchdowns for Panic's over
01:48 and just tell people, look,
01:49 this is what we're doing.
01:50 We're playing 175 and let's just cash the winner
01:53 and move on from it because it should be a winner.
01:55 - Can I just bring up something big picture
01:57 for a moment though?
01:57 - Please.
01:58 - If Washington lost that game,
02:00 I don't think they get into the college football playoff
02:02 even if they win out.
02:03 That's how damaging it would have been.
02:05 You look at this Pac-12 that at one point,
02:07 all right, look, here's all the teams, right?
02:09 USC, dead.
02:11 UCLA, dead.
02:13 Washington State, dead.
02:15 One of Oregon or Utah today, dead.
02:17 Not going to the, in terms of college football playoff,
02:19 right?
02:20 So you're down to U-dub, the winner of Oregon, Utah,
02:24 and if you're a believer in Oregon State,
02:27 this is what happens with this conference.
02:29 It's a great conference.
02:30 I'm kind of poking at you,
02:32 but it's much better than the Pac-12, the Big 10.
02:36 It's much better than the Big 10.
