Stevie Scott (Indiana, RB)

Not only is Scott one of the best backs in the Big Ten, but also the country, as seen by his inclusion on the Maxwell Award watch list this season, the award given to the college player of the year.

With Penix’ ability to stretch the defense and open up the running game with the deep ball, Scott could be in store for a huge season.

Last year against Ball the Hoosiers rushed for 255 yards including 114 from Scott. Look for another big day on Saturday.

Just a sophomore, Scott rushed for 1,137 yards in his freshman campaign. This was a freshman record for the Indiana football program, and at 6-foot-2 and 231 pounds, Scott is a force to be reckoned with. He finished with an average of 95 yards per game with 5.0 yards a carry in 2018.
