The defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers expect running back Khobie Martin to be out until about midseason with an arm injury he sustained during the first quarter of Saturday's 52-16 victory over North Texas.
Injured starting cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe are listed day to day, coach Curt Cignetti said Monday during his weekly news conference Monday. They have undisclosed injuries, and Cignetti had said Saturday that Martin would "miss a little bit of time" and that the cornerbacks' injuries were "not long-term deals."
"I talked to our trainer yesterday, but have not spoken with him yet today," the two-time Associated Press Coach of the Year said. "Khobie Martin will be out for a little bit, and we expect him back sometime around midseason."
QB watch
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham said Bryce Underwood has to improve to keep his job as starting quarterback.
"He's our QB right now," Whittingham said Monday. "It's not something that's infinite. At some point, we've got to turn a corner and we've got to see improvement."
Whittingham said everyone in the program is held to the same standard.
His decision -- whether to stick with Underwood or make a change -- will be closely watched in his first year with college football's winningest program after being relatively under the national radar in Utah for three-plus decades.
"Don't want to panic," he said.
Whittingham, though, does not sound as if he will be patient for very long with the 16th-ranked Wolverines hosting No. 10 Oklahoma on Saturday.
