Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover is on the field for pregame warmups against Michigan on Saturday, Oct. 24, despite suffering an apparent injury in Week 7's loss to Ohio State.

The first-year transfer from TCU played through the injury late in the 19-15 loss, as he appeared to aggravate something on his right throwing arm. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Saturday that Hoover is playing through an arm and wrist issue.

Hoover has been one of the best quarterbacks in college football this season, with 1,660 passing yards and 19 total touchdowns to no interceptions. He ranks No. 2 nationally with a 89.0 QBR while completing 63.9% of his passes and 9.8 yards per attempt.

The fourth-year starter was 20-of-40 passing for 296 yards with a touchdown against the Buckeyes in Week 7, and nearly threw a game-winning touchdown in the final moments, although Nick Marsh wasn't able to stay in bounds on the catch.

Here's what to know of Hoover's injury and Indiana's quarterback situation against the Wolverines on Saturday:
