Sep 07 (Field Level Media) – Indiana running back Khobie Martin ​will be out until ‌midseason with an apparent arm injury, coach Curt Cignetti confirmed Monday.

Martin appeared with his right arm ‌in ​a sling in ⁠a social media ⁠post on Sunday, one day after leaving the Hoosiers’ season-opening 52-16 rout of North ​Texas. The junior did not record a carry ⁠in the game.

“Khobie ⁠Martin will be out ​a little bit,” Cignetti said. “(We) ​expect him back midseason.”

Martin rushed ‌78 times for 505 yards (6.5-yard average) and six touchdowns in 14 games as Indiana ⁠marched to an undefeated national championship season in 2025.

Turbo Richard (15 carries ⁠for ‌58 yards and two ⁠touchdowns) and Lee Beebe ​Jr. (14 ‌carries for 33 yards) ​handled ⁠the rushing duties in Saturday’s win in Bloomington, Ind.

No. 6 Indiana (1-0) will host Howard (1-1) on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
