Threet injures elbow again

by John Heuser The Ann Arbor News

Steven Threet started the game well for the University of Michigan football team, leading the Wolverines to 17 first-half points against No. 3 Penn State.

But in the third quarter, the Michigan quarterback re-injured his throwing elbow, and gave way to backup Nick Sheridan. For the second game in a row as an injury replacement, Sheridan was ineffective.

After completing eight of 16 passes for 65 yards and two interceptions against Toledo, Sheridan went 3-for-9 for 5 yards against the Nittany Lions in a 46-17 Penn State victory.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said he considered sending freshman Justin Feagin into the game at quarterback, but decided against it, in part because of the difficult environment of Beaver Stadium. Feagin has yet to play this season.

"We were going to put him in there, we practiced him," Rodriguez said of Feagin. "We thought Steve was going OK. We thought Nick would be OK, too."
