BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Morgan Ellison found Indiana's starting tailback spotlight in his first college start.

And the freshman was more than ready.

Ellison was the offensive catalyst as the Hoosiers dominated Georgia Southern 52-17 Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

The 6-1, 225-pound Ellison ran for 186 yards on 25 carries and scored two touchdowns. He's IU's 11th true freshman to rush for more than 100 yards in a game. It's the fourth-best total by a Hoosier freshman. Anthony Thompson has the record with 207.

Ellison entered the game with 71 yards on 19 carries.
