Huskies quarterback Michael Penix has enjoyed some of the best pass protection in the...
SAN ANTONIO — Texas nose tackle Keondre Coburn isn’t in the habit of paying opposing offensive lines many compliments. In Washington’s case though, Coburn felt compelled to make an exception.
Having a talented quarterback and a group of zippy playmakers, as No. 12 Washington does, wouldn’t matter nearly as much if the offensive line held up like a sandcastle against crashing waves. UW has thrived because its offensive line has turned the pocket into a steel fortress for Penix, the revitalized Indiana transfer who completed 66 percent of his passes for a nation-leading 4,354 yards and 29 touchdowns.
“Penix is an outstanding quarterback, very accurate,” Texas defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said. “Their O-line does a good job of keeping him clean, and they have three really good wide receivers that he can distribute the ball to. We’ve got a huge challenge in front of us.” At 344 pounds and with the sort of nasty streak defensive coordinators covet, Coburn constantly demands a double team on the interior. The attention Coburn draws frees up teammates to win their individual battles, which has turned into a strong recipe for defensive success.
