Chip Kelly doing Chip Kelly things. Great creativity, use of counter, splitting the safeties wide open with Himon. Komolafe is a weapon and Chiles is by far the best quarterback Northwestern has had in awhile.

They will be in most games!

Super fun to see guys running free all the time. Some shades of 2000.

Put a lot of looks out there on tape for the better DCs in the B1G though, I wonder how Kelly will continue to make this offense potent.

I think the first Himon TD showed Kelly coaches at a higher level. Just sees mismatches and weaknesses better. Been hoping for a strong O at NU for years and years and it looks like it's here at last. Only disappointment, Himon didn't break a play for 60+ yards. Hoping for one of those per game.

Lost in the great play of the O is the great play of the D. Stopping Colo 3 times on 4th down! Holding Colo to 7!!! The D looked weak in the opener, but not at all yesterday.

Wonder how far this team can go. They ain't bad, as Meredith would say.

He did break a 79 yarder but it was called back. Hope he busts another one against IU.

Only had to show his hand for two and a half quarters. Hopefully there's a lot more from where that came from!!!
