Indiana junior running back Lee Beebe Jr. will miss the rest of the campaign with a right knee injury, Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti told reporters Monday.
Cignetti said Beebe 'sustained a non-contact knee injury,' during a running play in Friday's game against Indiana State. Beebe gained 9 yards on the play and fell to the ground before limping to the medical tent.
Beebe's injury occurred in the third quarter of Indiana's 73-0 victory over the FCS Sycamores. The Hoosiers led 52-0 at the time.
Beebe had 46 yards on five rushes on Friday. He ranks second on Indiana in rushing with 209 yards on 27 carries for a stellar 7.7 average. He rushed for one touchdown.
Kaelon Black leads the Hoosiers with 217 rushing yards and Roman Hemby has 200. Indiana ranks third in rushing offense at 307.7 yards per game.
Beebe transferred to Indiana in the offseason after spending three seasons at UAB. He rushed for 884 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 30 passes for 219 yards and one score last season, earning a third-team All-American Athletic Conference nod.
The No. 19 Hoosiers (3-0) open Big Ten play on Saturday when they host No. 9 Illinois (3-0).
