Think it's more than the flu but of course no one is going to say anything.

It’s got to suck going through life as a Duck fan, looking just like Jake a Browning

I'm not sure if he's injured. I think he might have had a panic attack at the end of the WSU game.

During the kick, when he had his head in the garbage container or whatever that was, my first reaction was that he was throwing up. Toward the end of the game he looked stressed AF. And even when he's playing well, he regularly disintegrates under pressure. He made like two good throws while facing intense pressure during our earlier matchup, and all season long he's been equally bad when guys are coming at him. I just wonder if maybe he has issues with the pressure of this moment. He was pretty bad during UW's last drive against WSU and to know everything hung in the balance might have just been too much for him.

I don't know enough about Xs and Os to know this for certain, but I think we exposed something about UW's pass protection during our second half against them and that other teams have been using what we put on film. Washington has survived, but seems like he's been running for his life ever since we played them. Maybe he is banged up but my gut feeling is he's just buckling a bit under the pressure.

I would hate for him to feel the pressure/anxiety of the game being on his shoulders so I really hope we hang 40+ points on them in the first half while shutting down their O so Penix can be saved from an uncomfortable situation.

No mercy, Ducks. It's the merciful thing to do.

Gosh what a selfless thinker you are, putting Penix's health and well-being first and foremost.

I'm not sure what is being implied here. What do you think he has? I've seen people allude to a rib injury, but it seems pretty far-fetched to me, given the risk involved with something like that.

Grubb today at his weekly presser was apparently asked because of course everyone saw him at the end of the game off by him self. Then there are those photos of him walking out with a coat over his head and a trainer or someone of that type walking with him. He clearly avoided the post game celebration on the field.

He could have bruised ribs and still play. They have flak jackets for that. Yes there is risk.

Someone said appendicitis. if he has that and is playing football that would be very bad.

Month long appendix issues? He’s played poorly since the Oregon game.

P.S. anyone see Zona? They look straight up dangerous, glad we didn't have to play them, they look like the real deal.

I agree. Nothing would make Penix feel more at ease than seeing Ty Thompson in the fourth quarter.

Thankful that we'll likely have Bryant. He seems to have been coming on lately and if we're going to be weaker in our secondary then we'll need guns blazing on offense. Hopefully those guys are back for the postseason.

So, what is this thing?

[Duck07]

Pretty sure its a glow stick, lol

He ingesting glow stick?? It's gotta be some sort of sports jelly? Idk I have never seen it before.

Someone needs to get reddit on the case.

People keep going back to the first Oregon game as the moment when Penix performance began to drop. Right at 10:43 left in the 4th quarter, Penix gets the first of a series of tackles as the defense starts getting to him fast enough to hit him. He gets drilled by DB Tysheem Johnson helmet-first contact directly into Penix's gut (lower stomach) on a delayed-blitz/sack first, which seems to be the original injury-causer. It's a nasty hit and Penix grabs his stomach while still sitting on the turf. He then acts tough and pops up gingerly, but continues to grasp his abdomen as he jogged back into his shotgun position. They replay that hit at least two more times, including minutes later in the game. He gets hit by Dorlus at 9:34. And then another blitz sandwich hit from #50 and #17 the next play at 9:27. He was all the way down on the ground layed-out, got helped up by a teammate. But then he began to double-over in pain 4-5 times as he got back into position for the next play. Then through the rest of the game he is witnessed clutching is stomach some more.

I'm no doctor, but the hit could have bruised his appendix, and the damage could have caused it to become damaged and infected/appendicitis over time/multiple more strains suffered in the games he's been playing?

From the pictures he clearly didn't ingest it. It could just be an item in the box that's kept there for night games, etc.

There are brands that make a sugar/sodium gel (dehydration among the elderly is a major problem and they've found the gels/gummies can get them to intake more fluids) and they look nothing like a child's glow stick.
