IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara will miss the rest of the season because of a torn knee ligament and Deacon Hill will be the starter against Purdue this week. McNamara tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the first half of the Hawkeyes' win over Michigan State. Coach Kirk Ferentz said the Michigan transfer will have surgery soon and plans to return next season. Hill transferred to Iowa after spending two years at Wisconsin. The third-year sophomore was 11 of 27 for 115 yards and a touchdown in relief of McNamara in the 26-16 win over Michigan State.
