The senior running back also led the team in rushing attempts for the first time since Week 6, indicating that the Indiana coaching staff could be willing to approach a hot hand approach to the backfield committee. Lawton will look to build on his performance in a massive showdown with Ohio State following this week's bye.

The senior running back has led the Hoosiers in carries through the team's first four games, though with five backs seeing 14 or more attempts this season, a committee-style approach appears to be the preferred method for the moment. Lawton should continue to see opportunities moving forward, starting when the Hoosiers host Maryland on Saturday.
