Fame Ijeboi News, Rumors, Updates - Purdue Boilermakers | FOX Sports

Solid as pass catcher in loss Ijeboi accrued 19 carries for 32 yards and one touchdown and caught all five targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 34-29 defeat to Maryland.

Impact Ijeboi's 2-yard touchdown capped the drive that pulled Purdue within five late. Outside of that, he had a hard time getting going on the ground. He's been held under two yards a carry in back-to-back games, and the touchdowns and catches are carrying his value for now. Iowa's front isn't likely to give him much more room.

Returns to game, finishes Week 10 strong Ijeboi (undisclosed) totaled 19 carries for 32 yards and one touchdown and caught all five targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 34-29 defeat to Maryland.

Impact Even though Ijeboi may not average many yards on his carries, he can get a touchdown every now and then, as he did Saturday. The running back exited mid-game with seven carries but added 12 more, one of them getting him his 10th touchdown this year. In that department, Ijeboi will provide value even if his recent yards per carry leave much to be desired.

Sent to locker room vs. Maryland Ijeboi (undisclosed) has been taken to the locker room during Saturday's contest against Maryland, per Tom Dienhart of On3.com.

Impact It's unclear what Ijeboit is dealing with, but it was reported that he was shaken up after a play. Prior to exiting, the running back notched seven carries for 23 yards and hauled in both of his targets for no yards. Backup Antonio Harris is in line for more carries if he remains out.

Bottled up in loss Ijeboi posted 11 rushes for 20 yards and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 31-17 defeat to Penn State.

Impact Ijeboi was stuck in a difficult spot, as Purdue fell behind early, ran few plays and found no room against a Penn State run defense that had been among the team's biggest weaknesses coming in. The issue was more about the Boilermakers' offensive line than anything he did, with coach Barry Odom crediting Penn State's front seven afterward. He remains the clear lead back after getting nearly all of Purdue's carries, so his volume should be safe Saturday against Maryland.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bottled up in loss Ijeboi accrued 13 rushes for 19 yards and hauled in all three targets for 23 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 38-26 loss to Washington.

Impact Purdue lost much-needed production from Ijeboi, who has been an offensive spark plug for the Boilermakers. Washgton's defense keyed in on him and limited the sophomore to his worst rushing total of the season.

Explodes for 195 rughing yards Ijeboi recorded 31 rushes for 195 yards and three touchdowns and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for negative four yards during Saturday's 41-13 victory over Minnesota.

Impact A big game like this from Ijeboi was likely not on many bingo cards this week, but he was brilliant against Minnesota and added three touchdowns to the total. He'll try to ride this momentum into a decent opportunity against Washington next week.

Productive in narrow victory Ijeboi compiled 19 rushes for 65 yards and reeled in their only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 24-17 win against Illinois.

Impact Ijeboi enjoyed a moderate boost in production after getting stuffed by Notre Dame's defensive front last week. Despite the upgrade, Ijeboi's result warrants concern, as he averaged only 3.42 yards per carry. The stat speaks more about Purdue's offensive line than Ijeboi, who has demonstrated an ability to rack up yardage after contact. He'll try to build on his Week 5 numbers against Minnesota next week.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Stifled in loss Ijeboi tallied 12 carries for 41 yards and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for six yards during Saturday's 49-10 defeat to Notre Dame.

Impact Ijeboi found no room to run against Notre Dame, following the same script plaguing most of the offense in Week 4. He should be able to turn things around against Illinois, which allowed Ohio State running backs to run all over them last week.

Scores twice in loss Ijeboi totaled 17 carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-38 defeat versus UCLA.

Impact Although Ijeboi found the end zone twice, UCLA's run defense kept Ijeboi mostly in check, limiting him to only 2.67 yards per carry in the loss. The Hoosiers still performed as a cohesive unit despite the loss, and they'll need to use it to boost morale as they face a tough home matchup against Notre Dame next week.

Racks up three touchdowns in OT loss Ijeboi compiled 27 carries for 114 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 38-36 overtime defeat against Wake Forest. He also caught six passes for 42 yards.

Impact Ijeboi is easily the best offensive transfer Purdue received in the offseason, and the sophomore is demonstrating his potential after sitting behind Darius Taylor in Minnesota. He was dependable in the trenches and adept out of the backfield as a pass catcher, delivering critical production in almost every offensive series.

Impact Ijeboi scored on a nifty wildcat play drawn up by the Boilermakers, and they also utilized him often until the game was in the pocket. The Minnesota transfer appears to have a firm handle on the starting gig in the backfield moving forward.
