Impact Sosby suffered a minor ankle injury during last Saturday's game, but there didn't seem to be any significant fears he would be unavailable for Saturday's tilt.

Dealing with ankle injury Sorsby (ankle) sustained a minor ankle injury during Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh, Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Sorsby suffered an ankle tweak during the second half of Saturday's 28-27 loss to Pittsburgh. The 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore quarterback was able to finish the game, but head coach Scott Satterfield credits the injury with the quarterback's drop in efficiency during the back half of the game. Sorsby, who has thrown for 681 yards (44-of-69), five touchdowns and no interceptions across his first two games, doesn't appear at risk of missing Saturday's game against Miami (OH), but it is something to monitor for the starting quarterback heading into Week 3.

Brilliant with three touchdowns Sorsby completed 22 of 38 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 28-27 defeat to Pittsburgh. He also had eight rushes for negative five yards.

Impact The game came down the final seconds, and Sorsby was key keeping the game close with the Panthers. The quarterback has reversed Cincinnati's fortunes in short order, turning the passing offense around after a sluggish 2023 campaign. He completed one of the best quarterback performances in the country during the narrow loss, and his Fantasy viability at the position appears to be pretty safe.

It's an encouraging sign for the Bearcats, who endured a disappointing 2023 campaign.

Sorsby is an Indiana transfer, where in 2023 he tossed for 1,587 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while tacking on 286 yards rushing and four scores on the ground.

Impact Sorsby kept up his strong performance over the back half of the season with his fifth multi-touchdown game in a row. While he didn't add any scores on the ground himself, he provided a good complimentary piece in the running game behind backs Trent Howland (19 carries, 77 yards) and Josh Henderson (13 carries, 74 yards). The redshirt freshman quarterback also added the team's longest rush of the game with a 25-yard carry. Sorsby has now totaled 14 touchdowns to three turnovers across the last five games. He'll look to finish of the season with another solid outing this coming Saturday against in-state rival Purdue.

Impact Sorsby logged his third straight solid outing as a passer, as he's now completed at least 60 percent of his passes in each of these contests.

This didn't stop Sorsby from lofting three passing touchdowns for the second time in three weeks, and he has now logged seven passing touchdowns to two interceptions over this span. the 6-foot-3 Texas native also logged his best rushing performance of the season, notching career highs in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns. Next week's matchup against a reeling Michigan State squad should give Sorsby a chance to log another solid performance before the regular-season finale against in-state rival Purdue.

Pilots solid offensive outing Sorsby completed 19 of 31 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-14 win over Wisconsin. He also had 14 rushes for eight yards with one touchdown.

Impact Sorsby proved effective despite coming into the game questionable to play due to an undisclosed injury, which he apparently sustained late during last week's loss to Penn State. The redshirt freshman didn't manage to hit his wideouts for three long touchdowns like he did in Happy Valley; but, he still played a very clean game, completing over 60 percent of his passes for the second week in a row. He also scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown on the opening drive, which proved to be the difference in this win. Sorsby's solid performance should keep him locked in as Indiana's starting quarterback ahead of Tayven Jackson heading into the Week 11 contest versus Illinois.

Impact Sorsby began Indiana's scoring with an eight-yard rush for a touchdown. He took advantage of another red-zone opportunity by completing a seven-yard pass (to Dovanen McCulley) for his second touchdown. The redshirt freshman has logged multiple touchdowns during each of Indiana's last three games. With how effective he was Saturday, Sorsby is expected to serve as starting quarterback again when the Hoosiers play at Illinois on Nov. 11.

Nearly pull off upset Sorsby was 13-for-19 passing for 269 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 33-24 defeat against Penn State. He also had 12 rushes for negative three yards.

Impact Sorsby started ahead of Tennessee transfer Tayven Jackson for the second week in a row. The redshirt sophomore nearly pulled off a massive upset while facing the No. 9-ranked team in the country, but the Nittany Lions pulled away with a touchdown and safety in the final two minutes of the game. Nevertheless, Sorsby performed well above expectation while facing one of the best passing defenses in the country, averaging 14.2 yards per attempt and logging touchdown passes of 90, 69 and 26 yards. He also provided consistency with his legs, though he ultimately netted negative rushing yardage. Sorsby's strong performance should keep him in place as the Hoosiers' starting quarterback against Wisconsin in Week 10.

Starting quarterback for Week 9 Sorsby will be the starting quarterback for Indiana's game Saturday at Penn State, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Sorsby will remain Indiana's starting quarterback after how well he played despite losing to Rutgers last Saturday. He logged 175 all-purpose yards (126 passing, 49 rushing) and was responsible for both touchdowns the Hoosiers scored then.

Logs two TDs in start Sorsby completed 15 of 31 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-14 loss against Rutgers. He also had 11 rushes for 49 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Sorsby replaced Tennessee transfer Tayven Jackson as the Hoosiers' starting quarterback coming into this Week 8 contest. The redshirt freshman had seen some significant playing time while splitting reps over the last two weeks, but he handled the entirety of Indiana's snaps under center Saturday. Sorsby tossed a 35-yard touchdown to wideout Omar Cooper on the opening drive, but his production as a passer fell relatively quiet for the rest of the game. He did log a season high in rushing yards to go along with his first touchdown on the ground this season, which helped keep Indiana competitive during the first half. Sorsby's solid performance will likely keep him as the starting quarterback heading into next Saturday's game against an elite Penn State defense -- a unit that just held Ohio State's offense to 20 points scored in Week 8.
