QUARTERBACK

? Michael Penix Jr. is on watch lists for the Maxwell,

Davey O'Brien, Walter Camp Player of the Year, Manning,

and Unitas Awards, and he was one of 10 players to earn Big

Ten Preseason honors.

? The redshirt junior owns a 10-3 record as a starter

and is 269-of-445 (60.5 percent) for 3,414 yards with 25

touchdowns, 11 interceptions, a 138.5 pass-efficiency rating,

and four 300-yard efforts in 16 games.

? Penix has 182 yards on the ground on 49 attempts (3.7

average) with four TDs.

? His completion percentage is third and his four

300-yarders share sixth in program history.

? A 2020 team captain and co-Most Valuable Player, Penix

earned second-team All-Big Ten recognition and was one of

17 O'Brien Award semifinalists.

? The southpaw started all six games in which he appeared

before he suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the

Maryland win (11/28).

? Penix completed 124-of-220 (56.4 percent) for 1,645 yards

with 14 scores and four INTs, averaged a Big Ten-leading

274.2 yards per game (18th nationally), and recorded a

136.54 pass-efficiency rating.

? The 6-3, 218-pounder added a pair of touchdowns on the

ground and 25 yards, and totaled 278.3 yards of offense (2nd

in the Big Ten, 29th nationally)

? Before the injury, he led the league in passing yardage,

passing yardage per game (312.2, 9th nationally), passing

touchdowns, completions, attempts, 60-yard passing plays

(4, T-2nd), 50-yarders (6, T-7th), 40-yarders (tied 6, T-33rd),

and 30-yarders (11, T-39th).

? Penix ran for one TD with :22 remaining, threw for a

score in overtime, and then converted the ensuing two-point

conversions following both to lift Indiana to a 36-35 victory

over No. 8 Penn State.

? In the win over No. 23 Michigan, the southpaw completed

30-of-50 for 342 yards, the second-highest yardage for a

Hoosier against the Wolverines, with three touchdowns.

? Penix was named the Manning Award Quarterback of

the Week and recognized on the Davey O'Brien National

Quarterback Award's Great 8 list.

? He turned in a career day at No. 3 Ohio State and secured

his second O'Brien Great 8 honor, throwing for a careerhigh 491 yards (2nd in program history, 1st in Big Ten/6th

nationally in 2020) with a career-best five TDs (T-3rd in

program history, T-2nd in Big Ten/T-8th nationally in 2020) on

27-of-51 (career-high attempts).

? It marked his third-straight 300-yard game, and Penix

became just the second Hoosier to accomplish the feat

(Nate Sudfeld, 3 in 2015).

? His three-game total of 1,153 yards was the second-best

total in program history (Ben Chappell - 1,188 in 2010).

? The 491 yards are the most against OSU at Ohio Stadium

since 1985 (Jim Everett, 497) and the fourth-highest put up

against the Buckeyes, including the most by an IU QB.

? Penix became the fourth to throw at least five scores

against Ohio State.

? He completed 110-of-160 passes, good for a schoolrecord 68.8 completion percentage (6th in Big Ten history),

for 1,394 yards with 10 touchdowns, four picks, and a 157.56

pass-efficiency rating in six starts in 2019. He rushed for 119

yards on 22 attempts (5.4) with two TDs.

? Penix suffered a season-ending right sternoclavicular

joint injury in the Northwestern win on Nov. 2.

? In 2019, Penix twice claimed Big Ten Freshman of the

Week honors (Ball State, Michigan State).

? Penix became the first IU freshman to start the opening

game at quarterback since Antwaan Randle El in 1998.

? The Tampa native joined Randle El as the only freshman

to surpass 300 passing yards in his first start and is one of

just four freshmen to ever reach the benchmark.

? Penix finished with 326 yards on 24-of-40 with a 75-yard

score. He added 67 rushing yards for 393 total yards.

? His total yardage and passing yardage trail only Randle El

for the most in a freshman debut. Randle El posted 467 total

yards and 385 passing yards against Western Michigan on

Sept. 12, 1998.

? In his first career road start at No. 25 Michigan State,

he went 33-of-42 (78.6) for 286 yards with three passing

touchdowns and one rushing TD.

? Penix completed a school-record 20-straight passes, the

second-longest streak in Big Ten history behind Chuck Long¡¯s

22-straight in 1984.

? His 33 completions were a career-high and share seventh

on the program¡¯s single-game list.

? Penix threw for 61 scores and just six interceptions in his

two years as a starter (24 games) at Tampa Bay Technical

High School.

? The team captain added 16 touchdowns on the ground.

He also played center field, jumped 22 feet in the long jump,

and tallied a time of 22.8 in the 200-meter dash.

? Jack Tuttle relieved Penix against the Terrapins and

started the final two games of 2020, including the Outback

Bowl, where he played every snap despite suffering a

separated shoulder in the first quarter.

? Tuttle went 44-of-72 (61.1 percent) for 362 yards with two

touchdowns and one interception and led the Hoosiers to a

pair of victories.

? In his first career start, he guided IU to a 14-6 win at No.

16 Wisconsin, the program's first win in Madison since 2001.

? A 6-4, 212-pound right-hander, Tuttle completed 13-of-22

for 130 yards with two TDs and zero INTs.

? The redshirt junior graduated with a supply chain

management degree in May 2021 and earned 2020 Academic

All-Big Ten recognition.

? Tuttle transferred from the University of Utah on Dec. 17,

2018, practiced with team, and was ruled eligible for the

2019 campaign in the spring. He did not see action at Utah.

? In five games in 2019, Tuttle went 6-of-11 for 34 yards and

had nine rushes for 20 yards.

? A graduate of Mission Hills High School in San Marcos,

Calif., Tuttle was a Rivals and 247Sports four-star prospect.

? He was ranked the No. 4 pro-style quarterback nationally

by Rivals, the No. 5 pro-style quarterback nationally by

247Sports, and the No. 13 player in California by 247Sports.

? Tuttle¡¯s father, Jay, was a walk-on kicker at IU (1986-88).
