Michael Penix Jr. has wasted no time making an impact in his first start back from injury.

Penix began the year as Indiana’s starting quarterback, but he has missed some time due to an undisclosed injury. After entering Week 5 as a game-time decision, he was cleared and started on the road against Michigan State.

He has completed 29 of his first 34 attempts:
