RB Turbo Richard avoids long-term injury and could play when No. 6 Indiana visits Rutgers
Bozeman Daily Chronicle +2 Sep 28
No bar in a game where the team had under 100 rushing yards: a share of that little says nothing.
Share of the team's total this season.
Each line is one carry: taller means more yards, and a line pointing down lost yards. Black lines are touchdowns. The play text only says left, middle or right, so inside each lane the carries are lined up shortest to longest, not placed. Of his carries with a spot in the play text: left 44, middle 51, right 18. His longest went for 57 yards.
Turbo Richard
Hits the crease and outruns the angle. Played for two head coaches at two programs in three seasons: Bill O'Brien and Curt Cignetti. A game that shows it: 204 rushing yards and 4 receiving yards against Rutgers — Week 5, 2026.
