Stats, exits vs Northwestern
IndyStar • • sports
Key Points:
- Indiana running back Turbo Richard left the game with an apparent right foot injury in the second quarter of a 29-23 win over Northwestern and did not return.
- Richard was tackled out of bounds on a play that appeared to involve a late hit, and he was helped off the field due to visible pain; his injury status remains unclear.
- Richard led the team with nine carries for 68 yards before exiting, and his injury compounds concerns as key running back Khobie Martin is already sidelined with an arm injury.
- With Richard potentially out, Indiana is left with only three healthy scholarship running backs, including two with minimal game experience, raising depth concerns for the Hoosiers.
- Coach Curt Cignetti acknowledged contingency plans are in place but has yet to provide specific updates on Richard or Martin's recovery timelines.
