Best Bets For Indiana Vs. Washington: Back IU RBs + Kurtis Rourke Injury Update

• Justice Ellison has a 58.5 rushing yard total with -114 odds.
• Ty Son Lawson has a 41.5 rushing yard rushing total.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – College Gameday is headed to Bloomington where the Indiana Hoosiers are hosting the Washington Huskies. However, they will be without starting quarterback and Heisman candidate, Kurtis Rourke which will impact the Indiana offensive game plan.

With Rourke out, it could force the Hoosiers into more of a run first offense which would set up both Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawson for big roles and legal sports betting sites are expecting it.

Back Both Ellison & Lawson At All Costs

Justice Ellison Total Rushing Yards

• Over 58.5 -114
• Under 58.5 -114

Ty Son Lawson Total Rushing Yards

• Over 41.5 -113
• Under 41.5 -115

Starting with the Washington run defense, it is extremely weak. They rank in the bottom five of the Big 10 Conference in rushing yards allowed as they let up 143.3 rush yards per game to opposing teams.

Also, it helps that Indiana’s defense is seventh in the country in terms of points allowed as they can rely on their defense to keep the offense on the field which would create even more opportunities for both backs to take the field.

Looking at how each of them have done against their respective yard totals on college football sportsbooks, Ellison, as the primary back has gone over four times in seven games including in both of his last two and he is coming off of a 105-yard performance.

Lawson, on the other hand, has seen his fair share of rushing opportunities having gone over 41.5 yards in five of seven games and has done so in his last three.
