Cade McNamara News, Rumors, Updates - East Tennessee State Buccaneers | FOX Sports

Out for Week 10 McNamara (undisclosed) will not appear in Saturday's game against Wisconsin, David Eickholt of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McNamara has been ruled out for undisclosed reasons ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Badgers. The 6-foot-1 senior quarterback has been mediocre for the Hawkeyes this season, throwing for 1,017 yards (104-of-172), six touchdowns and five interceptions across eight games. It is unclear why McNamara has been ruled out in Week 10, but Brendan Sullivan, who was listed atop the Hawkeyes' depth chart, appears in line for the start against Wisconsin.

Not listed on depth chart McNamara is not listed on the depth chart for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McNamara completed 11 of 23 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 32-20 defeat versus Michigan State, and the coaching staff seems to have decided to shake things up under center. All signs point to Brendan Sullivan making his first start of the season against the Badgers on Saturday.

Struggles in loss McNamara was 11-for-23 passing for 150 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 32-20 defeat versus Michigan State.

Impact McNamara had a rough day against the Spartans, completing less than 50 percent of his passes and throwing his fourth interception of the season. The senior signal-caller connected with receiver Reece Vander Zee on an 18-yard strike in the third quarter, bringing the Hawkeyes to within five points before the Spartans managed to pull away late. McNamara has had a less-than-stellar season thus far, throwing for 944 yards and six touchdowns to four interceptions through the team's first seven games. Fellow quarterback Brendan Sullivan has been receiving more opportunities over the last several weeks, indicating that the starting job may be up for grabs over the next few games. McNamara's next opportunity will come when the Hawkeyes host Northwestern this coming Saturday.

Takes care of business in blowout McNamara was 8-for-14 passing for 108 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 40-16 win against Washington.

Impact McNamara wasn't asked to do much on a day in which the Iowa offense leaned on the running game and blew out Washington. The senior quarterback did manage to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1, connecting with running back Kaleb Johnson and receiver Dayton Howard on passes of 18 and 33 yards, respectively. McNamara will hope to use this week's performance to build positive momentum heading into a road matchup against Michigan State.

Struggles in loss McNamara completed 14 of 20 passes for 98 yards and one interception during Saturday's 35-7 defeat against Ohio State.

Impact McNamara has struggled to get things going in the passing game recently, as Saturday marked his third game in the team's last four contests in which he failed to pass for 100 yards. The Iowa offense as a whole had trouble getting off the ground against Ohio State, as they totaled just 226 yards on the day and failed to score until a fourth quarter rushing touchdown by running back Kaleb Johnson with the game well in hand for the Buckeyes. A home matchup against Washington will provide McNamara's next opportunity to get back on track this season.

Quiet day in victory McNamara completed 11 of 19 passes for 62 yards during Saturday's 31-14 victory over Minnesota.

Impact McNamara had a quiet performance on a day in which Iowa leaned heavily on a monster performance from runningback Kaleb Johnson. Though he didn't do much in the passing game, the senior quarterback avoided mistakes and did what he needed to do to to help secure the victory for the Hawkeyes. McNamara will look to break his current streak of three consecutive games without a touchdown when the Hawkeyes visit Ohio State following their bye week on Saturday.

Efficient in victory McNamara was 19-for-23 passing for 176 yards during Saturday's 38-21 victory against Troy.

Impact Though he failed to find the end zone on the day, McNamara was efficient leading the Iowa offense, completing over 80 percent of his passes. The Hawkeyes largely used the rushing attack to control the game, recording 284 yards on the ground against a vulnerable Troy defense, though backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan contributed a single touchdown pass, finding tight end Addison Ostrenga for a two-yard score in the third quarter. McNamara will hope to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1 starting with Saturday's matchup against Minnesota.

Struggles in rivalry loss McNamara was 13-for-29 passing for 99 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 20-19 defeat to Iowa State.

Impact McNamara completed less than 50 percent of his passes and threw a pair of interceptions on a day in which the Iowa offense relied heavily on the running game. It was in stark contrast to the offensive performance in the Hawkeyes' season opener, in which the senior quarterback threw for over 250 yards and three scores without a turnover. Better days are likely ahead for the veteran signal-caller, though expectations may need to be adjusted for what the consistent floor of this offense can be. McNamara and the Hawkeyes will get a chance to right the ship when they host Troy on Saturday.

Shines in season debut McNamara was 21-for-31 passing for 251 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 40-0 win over Illinois State.

Impact Things started off slowly for McNamara and the Iowa offense with just six points scored in the first half, but the team broke the game open in the second half. Two of McNamara's three touchdown passes came in the third quarter to create separation, with the third coming on a 19-yard strike to Reece Vander Zee in the fourth quarter. The level of competition jumps up for the Hawkeyes starting next week when they host in-state rival Iowa State, and it will be interesting to see whether McNamara and the Iowa offense can keep their positive momentum going.

Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, assistant suspended 1 game over Cade McNamara recruitment

Starting season opener Head Coach Kirk Ferentz has named McNamara the starting quarterback for Iowa's season opener against Illinois State, Dan Morrison of On3Sports.com reports.

Impact McNamara will start the the season as the man under center as the Hawkeyes take on Illinois State. Although the senior quarterback had some questionable play during training camp, he'll ultimately take the QB1 role over Brendan Sullivan at least for the beginning of the season. McNamara threw for 505 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions before suffering a torn left ACL in the 2023 season.
