Cade McNamara threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in his Iowa debut as the No. 25 Hawkeyes defeated Utah State 24-14.
Utah State wide receiver Colby Bowman is tackled by Iowa defensive back Quinn Schulte during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in Iowa City, Iowa. Cade McNamara threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in his Iowa debut as the No. 25 Hawkeyes defeated Utah State 24-14 on Saturday.
McNamara, who transferred from Michigan during the offseason, was listed as questionable for the game with a quad injury to his right leg, but he made an immediate impact with a 36-yard touchdown throw to Seth Anderson on Iowa’s second play from scrimmage. It was the first passing touchdown on the opening series of the season in Kirk Ferentz’s 25 years as the Hawkeyes’ coach, and the first for an Iowa team since 1991.
Utah State got field goals from William Testa and Elliott Nimrod and a 16-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Legas to Terrell Vaughn late in the fourth quarter.The Hawkeyes should be able to stay in the rankings despite the offensive struggles that looked a lot like last season. McNamara provided early offensive life, but Iowa had problems moving the ball after that.
