Indiana, the defending national champion, expects running back Khobie Martin to miss about half the season due to an arm injury. Multiple reports say the injury occurred in the opening game.

Yahoo Sports adds that the injury happens during the first quarter of Indiana’s 52–16 win over North Texas. Coach Curt Cignetti says Martin is expected to be sidelined until midseason, with an estimated return timeframe of about then. The reports also note that Indiana lists injured starting cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe as day to day as the team moves forward.

Other coverage focuses on the same basic expectation of a midseason absence for Martin, without additional details beyond the initial Week 1 injury.
