HARDCORE HUSKY PODCAST: Penix Stands Firm in leading UW over Kent State

DerekJohnson

The boys break down the beginning of the Kalen DeBoer era at Washington, as UW tops Kent State 45-20 to win the "Don James Bowl". Michael Penix was everything we hoped for, albeit against subpar competition. The offensive line and defense looked suspect. But it is the season opener, after all. We also discussed the Pac-12's marquee struggles as opposed the SEC, which went 14-0 in its opening weekend. It just means more, apparently. Shout outs go to @Baseman, @creepycoug and the desperate and pitiful Duck fan @MikeSeaver.

Of note, @JoeEDangerously and @WoolleyDoog were driving home from the game in THE BUS and the engine made lots of noise at times. It caused your host to shout to be heard, but in listening to the audio playback it's clear I could have spoken at normal volume and been heard just fine. In any event, we will soon be trying new software and recording over the internet, for hopefully clearer audio.

Wasn’t perfect but beats losing to Montana

Maybe THE BUS can be the new Alien Rape Chamber? Also, no shout out, no listen. EAFD.

Looked suspect against the run, wordsmythe. The OL against the pass was exemplary.

Good pod, pods

Good call. Should have pointed out the pass blocking was some of the best I've ever seen at UW. Kent State. I know. I know.

Also, the playlist was heavy 90s Seattle rock. I'm guessing they assumed almost no students and just the lunatic fringe were going to a Saturday night Labor Day weekend opener against Kent State and wanted to appease.

You guys talking ‘bout practice?

More on the trick play, Penix sees Odunze but knows he can’t make the throw and quickly checks off to Culp and places a great throw. Wow.

When the OL gives you enough time to throw a trick play to your TE that far down the field, they did well. Rosengarten at RT played admirably for a redshirt freshman.

I don't like how it's turned into a NBA game with the seizure inducing advertising, announcer yelling, "Third down!" 50 times a game, and constant music, but if they have to play music, good choices...

I think you can only download them if you have a Zune.
