Northwestern beat Colorado 41-7 at home Saturday, converting a fumble and an interception into early scoring chances. Quarterback Chiles scored twice on runs, while Joseph Himon II caught three touchdown passes for 46 yards in the Wildcats’ dominant win.
Colorado moved the ball on the ground but repeatedly failed on key late downs and scored only once, on a screen pass. Northwestern also converted a third-and-16 and a fourth-and-1, turning both drives into touchdowns.
Northwestern is Indiana's first Big Ten opponent of the 2026 season. The article argues Indiana will need to keep Chiles from escaping pressure and prevent his receivers from getting open.
