Kirk Ferentz of the Iowa Hawkeyes makes a wild statement about Cade McNamara

Iowa Hawkeyes quarterback Cade McNamara struggled in his team's blowout loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, going 14 of 20 for 98 yards and an interception.

It was the fifth time McNamara averaged fewer than 100 yards in 10 starts at Iowa, and many Hawkeyes fans are clamoring for his job. Again.

However, it doesn't look like Iowa will change anything. At least not at the moment.

After the loss, Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz not only said he wouldn't make a quarterback change, but also said McNamara is improving, via Chad Leistikow of The Des Moines Register.

Uhh, OK.

Yes, McNamara completed 70 percent of his passes against the Buckeyes, but he missed numerous big throws and also threw a crucial pick.

In fact, Iowa scored the one touchdown when McNamara wasn't in the game, and it was also the team's first score against a ranked opponent since 2022 (h/t David Eickholt of 247 Sports).

Eickholt added that McNamara has yet to throw a touchdown against a Power Four team since joining the Hawkeyes. He transferred from Michigan to Iowa in December 2022.

In five total games this season, McNamara has thrown for 676 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. All three of those touchdown passes came in a Week 1 win against Illinois State.

The loss dropped the Hawkeyes to 3-2, and if Ferentz refuses to make a change under center, there could be more losses for the team.
