ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Michigan quarterback Chad Henne could miss this week's game against Notre Dame, giving freshman Ryan Mallett the start, Wolverines Coach Lloyd Carr said.
Carr didn't reveal the extent of Henne's injury, thought to have occurred during last week's loss to Oregon, but said the senior quarterback's status was "week-to-week."
"We'll see how he does this week," Carr said. "He's in good spirits. He's disappointed but I think he'll come back quicker than most."
Henne, a senior, was 19-of-37 for 233 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the season-opening loss to Appalachian State, then threw for 172 yards on 12-of-23 passing with a score in the first half against Oregon. That touchdown pass allowed him to tie the school record with 72 for his career.
He was replaced by Mallett, who completed 6-of-17 passes for 49 yards and an interception.
Both Michigan and Notre Dame are winless going into the game in Ann Arbor, Mich. It is the first time both teams opened the season 0-2.
