Iowa Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz offered a rather wild comment on quarterback Cade McNamara after losing to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
It marked the fifth time McNamara has finished with under 100 passing yards in 10 Iowa starts, and it has many Hawkeyes fans calling for his job. Again.Following the loss, Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz not only said that he won't be making a quarterback change, but he said that McNamara is improving,Yes, McNamara completed 70 percent of his passes against the Buckeyes, but he missed on numerous big throws and also threw a crucial pick.
As a matter of fact, the one touchdown Iowa scored came when McNamara was out of the game, and it also represented the team's first score versus a ranked opponent since 2022 (that McNamara has yet to throw a touchdown against a power-four team since joining the Hawkeyes. He transferred to Iowa from Michigan in December 2022.
In five games this season overall, McNamara has thrown for 676 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. All three of those touchdown passes came in a Week 1 win over Illinois State. The Hawkeyes fell to 3-2 with the loss, and if Ferentz refuses to make a change under center, more losses may be coming for the squad.
