IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Cade McNamara says he’s transferring to Iowa after serving as Michigan’s backup quarterback this season. McNamara announced his decision on Twitter. He presumably will go into next season as the front-runner for the starting job and have two seasons of eligibility. McNamara started every game for the Wolverines in 2021 but lost the job to J.J. McCarthy after the opener. McNamara appeared in the second and third games and didn’t play again. Spencer Petras has struggled as Iowa’s starter and has a year of eligibility with the COVID-19 waiver. Alex Padilla backed up Petras and is in the transfer portal.

IOWA CITY — A busy week of Cy-Hawk competition begins Sunday in Carver-Hawkeye Arena  when 2nd-ranked Iowa hosts #7 Iowa State. The Hawkeyes have won the last 16 duals in the series but the intensity has returned, especially in the wake of a post dual scuffle last year in Ames following Iowa’s 23-11 win. ISU coach Kevin Dresser.

It has been several years since this dual has seen so much hype.

Who the Hawkeyes send out to the mat remains a mystery at several weights as a number of regulars have been battling injury.

Iowa coach Tom Brands has never lost to Iowa State and the Cyclones will look for their first victory in the series since 2004.

Brands says Iowa State’s rise in the national rankings does not change how they approach it.

Brands calls it a great opportunity for his team.

Sunday’s dual begins at 1:30 in Iowa City.
