Aidan Chiles throws to Joseph Himon II for 3 TDs, runs in 2, Northwestern routs Colorado 41-7

EVANSTON, Ill. -- , Aidan Chiles passed to Joseph Himon II for three touchdowns and ran in two himself to lead Northwestern to a 41-7 rout of Colorado on Saturday night. Chiles finished with 241 yards on 17-for-22 passing and upped his season total to seven TDs – four passing and three rushing , in his first two games with the Wildcats (2-0). Chiles, a senior, made 20 starts for Michigan State before joining Northwestern during the offseason. “There were some plays that certainly went off-script,” Northwestern coach David Braun said of his quarterback, “but his athleticism and his ability to keep the his eyes downfield, that's really hard to defend.” Himon caught an 18-yard pass for his first TD, then a 25-yarder and a 3-yard toss as Northwestern (2-0) pulled away on a rainy evening two days after it announced an extension of Braun’s contract through the 2031 season.
