The fifth-year back showcased his prowess, rushing for a career-high 203 yards, including a remarkable 70-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Beebe's previous career-high of 161 yards, achieved in 2024 while playing for UAB, was surpassed in this thrilling contest. The 29-23 win extended Indiana's impressive 20-game winning streak. Despite suffering a torn ACL against Indiana State on September 12th, Beebe returned to form this season, providing the workhorse presence needed to secure the crucial victory. Quarterback Josh Hoover contributed significantly as well, passing for 201 yards and a touchdown to lead Indiana to a hard-fought win against Northwestern.",
