Stifled in backfield Lucas tallied four carries for negative two yards and hauled in all three targets for five yards during Saturday's 31-20 loss to Kansas State.

Impact It was a forgettable game for Lucas after a dominant performance against South Alabama in Week 2. He was the first running back to take the field for the Green Wave, but he couldn't find any holes to break free, ending the contest with negative yardage. Jamauri McClure (foot) continues to sit out, though reports indicate a return is near, meaning Lucas' opportunities are slimming down to showcase why he should split touches with the returning starter.

Logs one touch in loss Lucas logged one rush for negative five yards and failed to catch any of his three targets during Saturday's 33-24 defeat against Penn State.

Impact Lucas logged fewer than five carries for the third game in a row, and he failed to catch a passes after hauling in 10 of his 14 targets over the previous two games. The sophomore running back appears to be seeing his playing time dwindle as the Hoosiers have progressed through conference play. His production wasn't helped by the return of graduate senior running back Josh Henderson, who logged 12 carries in his game back following a four-game absence. Lucas will likely operate behind Henderson as well as Christian Turner and/or Trent Howland in Week 10 versus Wisconsin.
