DUBLIN — Northwestern quarterback Ryan Hilinski paid tribute to his late older brother, Tyler, after the Wildcats beat Nebraska in Dublin on Saturday. Tyler Hilinski was a quarterback at Washington State who died by suicide in 2018 at age 21. Ryan was in Ireland a decade ago to watch Tyler play in a youth tournament. He says his parents gave him Tyler's jersey patch from that 2012 tournament before Saturday's game. Ryan says Ireland will always be a special place for his family and that the Hilinskis are now 2-0 there.
