NORMAN, Okla., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Oklahoma starting quarterback Jason White has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee and could miss the remainder of the season, the Daily Oklahoman reported Monday.
Making his second career start, White was injured in the second quarter of Saturday's 20-10 loss to Nebraska after landing awkwardly following a pass attempt. The sophomore returned to the contest for a brief time in the fourth quarter.
The loss ended the Sooners' 20-game winning streak, dropped them to fourth in the latest coaches poll and likely also knocked them from the first spot in the BCS rankings.
Citing unnamed sources, the Daily Oklahoman reported White would require surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation after an examination Sunday revealed the injury.
According to the report, White will perform strenghtening excercises for two weeks before being re-evaluated for possible surgery.
Junior Nate Hybl, who started the first six games before losing his job to White, will start Saturday's game against Tulsa.
