Iowa a won the game against Michigan State but may have lost quarterback Cade McNamara in the process. The Hawkeyes scored the final 16 points in a 26-16 win over the Spartans. McNamara suffered an apparent knee injury on the second drive of the game and Deacon Hill finished 11 of 27 from 115 yards and connected with tight end Eric All for the only offensive touchdown of the game.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says they will know more about the extent of McNamara’s injury early this week.

If McNamara is out Hill will be the starter. Ferentz says Hill got a lot of practice time with the first team after McNamara suffered a quad injury in an August scrimmage.

Cooper DeJean had a first half interception and his 70-yard punt return for a touchdown gave the Hawkeyes the lead for good.

Iowa is 4-1 and hosts Purdue this week.
