The Iowa Hawkeyes escaped Saturday night’s matchup with the Michigan Spartans with a win. It was ugly for long stretches but ended with jubilation for those in attendance under the lights of Kinnick Stadium.
However, the win came at a cost for Iowa as starting QB Cade McNamara left after Iowa’s second series with an apparent knee injury. While the centerpiece for this offense is still awaiting MRI results on Monday, he is expected to be done for the season.
In his stead, backup Deacon Hill, a transfer from Wisconsin, stepped in and delivered a solid performance in Iowa’s win.
