Iowa starting quarterback Cade McNamara will not return to Saturday night's game against Michigan State after suffering a left knee injury in the first half.
McNamara, a transfer from Michigan, left the field on a cart with his knee wrapped. He was injured while scrambling out of the end zone and falling awkwardly at the Iowa 2-yard line. McNamara appeared in street clothes on crutches along the Iowa sideline in the second half.
He completed 3 of 5 passes for 46 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Deacon Hill, a Wisconsin transfer, replaced McNamara and led Iowa to its first touchdown drive of the game, capped by a 3-yard pass to tight end Erick All.
