Lee Beebe Jr.

Maybe you play the ownerships, but that does feel a little bit, uh, tricky, a little bit, uh, cute maybe instead.

Lee Beebe Jr., Turbo Richard, those are two guys that, uh, got dinged up, both played and were absolutely incredible against Rutgers.

I think you-- both of them are certainly in play.

Not as much Richard with that same idea of like- You know, Jamal Roberts is 200 cheaper.

But you can tackle him if you get a good angle, if he were to bust a big one on the outside.

And then pictured on the right, Lee Beebe Jr., fifth-year player, came in from UAB back in 2024 into the 2025 season, played in a backup role, really coming into his own.

And they both rushed for 100 yards last week in that win over Rutgers, 47-15. it's almost a mirror.

Not a lot of teams.

You had Turbo Richard go for 200 yards last week.

The week before, it was Lee Beebe Jr. going for 200 yards.

There's a lot of different weapons.

And then you have Josh Hoover, who is pretty efficient with the ball.

I, I couldn't agree more with the emphasis on just being sure tacklers in this game.

And, you know, both, um, Rob Orich talked about this on Tuesday, Da- uh, Matt Rhule talked about it on Monday, that this running back group, and when you look at, you know, Turbo Richard a- and Lee Beebe Jr., those guys, they, they don't run out of bounds.

They welcome the contact.

This has to be a violent game for this defense.

Maybe you play the ownerships, but that does feel a little bit, uh, tricky, a little bit, uh, cute maybe instead.

Why would you do that? Uh, but I do think Lee Beebe at 6500 makes more sense.

And so those are things where he always goes out of his way to thank Scott and Pam about, you know, making this happen and kind of creating this opportunity.

Michael, is Indiana better this year at running back with Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. or last year with Kalen Black and their guys there? What's the better running attack, last year's or this year's for

Indiana? Maybe ask me again in three weeks, right? No, I think that, you know, it's...

Look, what they've done the last two weeks, 200 yards Turbo had against Rutgers.

But I personally am just not willing to Put any kind of ranking next to his name until we have more clarity about the situation.

So Ahmad Hardy gets a special honorable mention and then just to rattle off a few more honorable mentions for the show today, Lee Beebe Jr. who had a 200-yard game recently for Indiana as well.

Deshaun Bishop also had a 200 game recently, very effective running back for Tennessee.

Don't know if he's the kind of athlete that translates to the next level and also college or the NFL just seems to not care what happens with those Tennessee running backs.

Yeah, I, I think with Hoover it's like, it, it surprised me to look this up this week and realize he just, like, still hadn't thrown a pick this year.

And I, and I know obviously Kirk Cignetti had, like, made a point of that because of the comments from Sonny Dykes and just, uh, Josh Hoover's history of not taking care of the ball at TCU, in part because he just had to be the playmaker and, and be the creator there, and he doesn't really have to be when you have Lee Beebe running as well as he did, uh, against Northwestern, when you have, have the backs that you can lean on there.

And so, um, I, I'm interested to see can, can Josh Hoover just continue to, to, you know- Uh, hold up to that, you know, their, their expectations for their offense and, and can he be a guy that can go win big games? Because that's just not really been what he's been at TCU.

And so, you know, the, uh, certainly they talked themselves into like, "Hey, we're, we're giving him a much better supporting cast and system and play calling," and all that's true.
