Colorado: Aidan Chiles Named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.

Aidan Chiles' strong start to his Northwestern career received another piece of recognition Monday. Chiles completed 17 of 22 passes for 241 yards and three touchdowns while adding two rushing touchdowns, accounting for all five of Northwestern's touchdowns in the win.

The performance was one of the best of Chiles' collegiate career and added another milestone to his first two games in Evanston. He became the first Northwestern quarterback since at least 2001 to record at least three passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the same game.

But Chiles' success against Colorado was not an isolated performance. In his Northwestern debut against South Dakota State , Chiles completed 14 of 24 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown while adding a rushing score.

He helped the Wildcats produce 497 total yards in a 34-18 victory, including a two-play, 82-yard opening touchdown drive that immediately showed the explosiveness of Northwestern's new offense under Chip Kelly . Through two games, Chiles has thrown for 514 yards and four touchdowns without an interception.
