Much was left to be desired from the Indiana run game in the 2020 season.
An inability to dominate the line of scrimmage in run blocking led the Hoosier stable of running backs to average just 3.1 yards per carry. The Hoosiers did not combine for over 1000 yards rushing. At its worst, it was actually harming the team – Indiana rushed for negative yardage in the narrow defeat at Ohio State. The schemes were predictable, too. Stevie Scott carried 156 times, while no other running back handled it more than 32 times.

In what could be the final stay or go decision of the 2021 offseason for the Indiana Hoosiers, Stevie Scott announced today that he would forego his senior season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft. Scott has received the bulk of carries for the Hoosiers over the last three seasons and has always had a knack for finding the end zone.

The list of career achievements for Stevie Scott in his time with Indiana is lengthy.
The career 2,000-yard rusher has made the second team All-Big Ten team the last two seasons, been a member of the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award watch lists over the same time frame, and is second in the Big Ten in rushing touchdowns, total TDs, and rushing yards among active players.

The Indiana Hoosiers offense is searching for a rushing attack. Despite having talent backs in Stevie Scott, Sampson James and Tim Baldwin the Hoosiers rank 13th in the 14 team Big Ten conference in rushing. The Hoosiers are averaging 76 yards per game and just 2.39 yards per carry. So what’s the issue? Indiana offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan cannot put a finger on a singular issue.

Indiana’s first loss this season was full of offensive storylines. On one hand, Michael Penix and his receivers, especially Ty Fryfogle, packed the box score with career-best performances. On the other hand, the Hoosiers failed to establish any semblance of a run game and dug themselves into a large hole that was ultimately insurmountable, despite a dominant second half.
