Iowa’s night against Michigan State and the rest of its season seemingly took an abrupt turn on the second play of the Hawkeyes’ second drive.
Iowa starting quarterback Cade McNamara scrambled out of the Hawkeyes’ end zone looking to avoid the safety. In the process, the senior signal-caller went tumbling down to the Duke Slater Field turf before he was hit.
McNamara needed help leaving the playing field and couldn’t put weight on his left leg before being carted off into the locker room.
It’s a devastating sight to see anyone get injured. For someone as important to Iowa as McNamara, it had Hawkeye fans feeling all sorts of ways.
Most importantly, though, it was nice to see the outpouring of support from Hawkeye fans and opposing fans alike for McNamara to get well soon.
