NW linebacker has two pick sixes in win over Cal

NUance

Assistant Coach
The No. 22 Northwestern Wildcats staved off an upset bid on the road to capture their season opener over the California Bears, 44-30, in a shootout on Saturday night. The Wildcats won thanks to a pair of interception returns for touchdowns by linebacker Collin Ellis.LINK
Pretty incredible. A LB with two pick-sixes. I wonder if *that* has ever happened before?

 
I was watching parts of that game and seen both INTs. IIRC both of them were the result of a tipped pass. For a LB, he had some speed.

 
I'll bet no LB has ever had two pick sixes in a single game in the history of football, both college and pro. It's probably only happened a handful of times for CBs or safeties.

 
I was impressed most by NW during week 1 of B1g teams. Didn't see a much of Mich tho.
