October 18, 2023 at 5:31 am PDTSEATTLE, WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 14: Michael Penix Jr. #9 of the Washington Huskies passes against the Oregon Ducks during the third quarter at Husky Stadium on October 14, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. is the deserving Heisman Trophy favorite after the Huskies’ big win over Oregon on Saturday. Penix threw four touchdowns to bring his season total to 20 through the first six games of the season.
After starting the season with five games against unranked opponents, Saturday’s game was the first of four Washington games against teams currently in the Top 25. While the rest of October includes games against Pac-12 bottom-feeders Arizona State and Stanford, Washington has No. 18 USC, No. 14 Utah, No. 12 Oregon State and a recently ranked Washington State team over its final four games. That’s an extremely tough schedule.
That weak schedule and Michigan’s incredible defense through the first seven games has overshadowed just how good McCarthy has been this season outside of a bizarre game against Bowling Green. McCarthy threw three picks in that game and hasn’t thrown an interception in any other game. For the season, McCarthy has competed 78% of his passes for 1,512 yards and 14 TDs while also rushing for three scores.
Daniels has taken a big leap as a passer in 2023; his completion percentage is nearly five points better, he’s on pace to throw for nearly 4,000 yards in the regular season and he’s already thrown five more TDs than he did a season ago. All while averaging 1.2 yards more per carry and being on pace to eclipse his rushing total from a season ago.
