Michigan football is taking on Iowa in the B1G title game this weekend, and former Wolverine Cade McNamara will be on the opposite sideline.
The Michigan football team defeated Ohio State football over the weekend 30-24 to advance to their third straight Big Ten title game. The Wolverines have spent the past several weeks hearing that the only reason they had success in recent years was because of sign-stealing. In the final three weeks, Michigan won at #10 Penn State and took down #2 Ohio State without their head coach. There aren’t a lot of people talking anymore, and now the Wolverines are heading to the Big Ten Championship to face Iowa football for the second time in three years.
Iowa football looks a little bit different now than they did when the Wolverines squared off with them in 2021. Perhaps the biggest change was at the quarterback position. At the beginning of the season, the Hawkeyes had Cade McNamara starting at QB. McNamara was the QB of the Michigan football team back in 2o21 when the Wolverines took down Iowa in the Big Ten title game. A lot of people were hoping for this matchup so McNamara would go up against JJ McCarthy and his former team. Unfortunately, McNamara suffered a season-ending injury earlier this season, and Deacon Hill is now the guy for Iowa.
