Indiana’s Turbo Richard injury: Report reveals major setback after Northwestern

Top-ranked Indiana secured a narrow 29-23 victory over Northwestern, but the triumph was marred by a significant health concern for the reigning national titleholders. Starting tailback Turbo Richard exited during the second quarter due to an apparent high ankle sprain following a hip-drop tackle by Jamaal Johnson, with head coach Curt Cignetti also noting an unflagged collision from Brendan Flakes.

Richard accumulated sixty-eight yards on nine rushing attempts before leaving the contest, adding to a season total that previously featured three hundred fifteen yards and four scores. With backup option Khobie Martin already sidelined due to a fractured arm, fifth-year player Lee Beebe Jr.

stepped in to shoulder the rushing load. Beebe delivered twenty-four rushes for two hundred three yards alongside a touchdown, highlighted by a seventy-yard burst late in regulation that set up a one-yard scoring plunge by quarterback Josh Hoover.

The outcome pushed the program's overall record to four wins and zero losses while extending the longest active winning streak across the Football Bowl Subdivision to twenty games.
