Efficient performance in blowout Black posted seven rushes for 55 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-14 win versus Charlotte.

Impact Black found the end zone on a 21-yard run in the third quarter, stretching out the Hoosiers' lead. The redshirt junior averaged an impressive 7.9 YPC on limited attempts on the day, recording the second-most yards and attempts for the team. Though a committee-style approach will continue to limit the ceiling for the individual backs within the Indiana offense, it likely means that multiple backs, including Black, will continue to get opportunities moving forward. Black's next opportunity will come when the Hoosiers host Maryland on Saturday.
