With last year’s leading rusher Morgan Ellison still suspended, Indiana is down to Stevie Scott and Mike Majette to carry a majority of the workload. Allen did not provide an update on Ellison’s status.
Gest had just five carries for 17 yards in the Hoosiers’ 38-28 win over the Panthers.
Last year, Gest was the team’s second-leading rusher, totaling 428 yards and a touchdown on 93 carries for Indiana.
The Hoosiers are currently 1-0 and will host Virginia on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
