Here's the complete list of FBS linebackers to record at least 9 tackles, 1 PBU, 1 INT and 1 sack in a single game this season.
Northwestern's Braydon Brus. End of List.
Northwestern's Caleb Komolafe and Joseph Himon II are the first pair of Power Four teammates to each rush for 160+ yards and 1+ TDs on 7.5+ YPC in a single game since Zach Evans and Quinshon Judkins did so for Ole Miss in 2022.
A combined 364 total YDS and 3 TDs for the duo.
Northwestern senior Michael Kilbane is PFF's highest graded defensive lineman in the country with a minimum of 25 snaps (91.9). His 92.4 run defense grade also leads all eligible FBS defensive linemen.
Kilbane recorded 6 total tackles, 1 TFL and 1 FF against Colorado.
Aidan Chiles' final stat-line in Northwestern's 41-7 win over Colorado: 17-of-22 passes completed (77% comp), 241 yards, 3 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs.
Chiles is the first Big Ten QB to post these figures since Ohio State's J.T. Barrett did so against Nebraska on Oct. 14, 2017.
Joseph Himon II is the first Big Ten running back to record 100+ all purpose yards and 3+ receiving touchdowns in a single game since at least 1995.
Some notes on a monumental result for Northwestern men's soccer:
- Highest ranked win under Russell Payne
-First win over a top-five opponent since Oct. 18, 2016 (2-1 OT vs No. 2 Notre Dame)
- Most lopsided regular-season loss for UMD since Oct. 7, 2000.
All purpose yards from Northwestern running backs against SDSU: Joseph Himon II (118), Gavin Sawchuk (84), Caleb Komolafe (83)
Just the second time since 1995 that three Wildcat RBs eclipsed 80 all purpose yards in a game and first since Sept. 26, 2015 against Ball State.

Thank you, BJ 💜
Special Assistant to the Head Coach Brian James has announced his retirement, completing a career spanning 50 years in basketball across multiple levels including the NBA, college and high school ranks. A member of Head Coach Chris Collins' original staff 13 seasons ago, James played a pivotal role in the most successful era in program history.
Hard to believe four years at @MedillSchool have gone by.
I cannot even begin to thank the players, coaches and families who trusted me with their stories. My deepest gratitude goes out to all who’ve taken the time to read my work.
For both players and coaches, Northwestern's path to winning the 2026 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship on home soil was almost indescribable.
“I’ve never been a part of a team with so many breaks that went the right way. It was storybook stuff."
Entering Spring Break at the season's low point, Northwestern emerged to face a murderers' row of elite opponents.
"We banded together, buckled down and said, 'We’re not going to let this happen.’”
What followed was a 14-game unbeaten run to the national title.
