Penix has not been sacked this year. The Husky O-Line is one of the most experienced in CFB. The Jaguars had good tackles but Latu will be facing his toughest test on Friday night.
DEFENSE: Laiatu Latu, RS Jr., DE, UCLA (Sacramento, Calif.)
Registered a career-best 3.0 sacks in leading UCLA to a 45-17 win at Colorado. Latu totaled four tackles on the day, including a 3.5 tackles for loss. He added a forced fumble and was also credited with a pass defended. The forced fumble led to a short field and a two-play touchdown drive for the Bruins.
First Bruin to win Defensive Player of the Week since LB Keisean Lucier-South in Week 7 of the 2018 season.
Also nominated: Eric Gentry, ILB, USC; Karene Reid, LB, Utah; Noah Sewell, ILB, Oregon; Kitan Oladapo, Oregon
Take into consideration that he was playing against arguably the most pathetic team in the country.

Latu... Polynesian for "Gentry". And they got the team wrong too.
Should have been Gentry. My grandmother could get 3 sacks against Colorado
this the kid risking paralysis by playing per UW Doctors?? Hope he stays healthy.
Impact player. #3 in the country in sacks
