    It would be Penix, but the transfer portal era seems like it changes the situation. He played more at Indiana than Washington.

    And Tui played more for the Raiders than the Dawgs. Who the fuck cares?

    *and as already mentioned, Penix has not in fact played more at Indiana than he has here.

    Tui won a rose bowl and popped off. Penix hasn’t won that big postseason game yet. Better overall player, yes, but better legacy??? Nope.

    Mostly agree but man, what a bitch it is w/ just 4 invites to have to play a 13th game against the 2nd best team in your conference that has already seen you.

    The 2000 team might not have made it out of a rematch with Oregon State.

    More seasons at Indiana. I guess Indiana could say he was the "Greatest Hoosier ever" too, based on what he did as a Huskie.

    If we're going to get technical, guys like Rick Redman and George Wilson would need to be in the conversation. But only Race Bannon actually saw them play.

    If Penix goes 15-0 (26-2) he's the guy hands down. Stan won a natty with two dominant seasons, but 15-0 > 12-0 and 26-2 > 22-2. By a little. If the 91 team had gotten a crack at Miami and won then it would be an endless debate.

    The only debate in my mind is where Penix ranks if he loses the next game or the one after. Does he rank differently if UW beats Texas but loses the natty game as opposed to losing to Texas?
