OT-ish: 247Sports (and others) reporting Cade McNamara likely done for the season
247 Sports was the first article I saw, but it's all over Titter/X now too. Many reports that Cade is likely done for the season. Kirk will give an update at his Tuesday press conference...
I wasn't pleased with the way he left, but damn, I feel for the kid. Rough way to go down, hope he recovers fully.

I do feel horrible for him. Some of my favorite memories of 2021 with Cade (other than OSU) was how insanely happy he looked when we pulled that win out at Nebraska, so much so that he took the offensive line out for a steak dinner in Ann Arbor. And of course, him getting emotional with the reporter after that win at Penn State.
Then last year in the opener against Colorado State, he looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. When he got bailed out on a near interception, he just looked like a deer caught in headlights. And of course, the Hawaii game where he was in for about, what, 3 plays? Throws an interception and gets leveled, causing an injury that turned out to be season ending.
Now he transfers to Iowa of all places where he has to work with Brian Ferentz...and now another season ending injury. Ever since winning the big ten title, nothing has gone right for him.

Small nitpick, his injury was the in third game against UConn.
October 2nd, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Smaller nitpick. It was 0:08 to go in the second quarter of the UConn game

He came back from what could have been a disastrous strip sack at inside our 20 (our D held them to 3 to go down 17-14). He hit that great play to Erick All and then converted the 3rd and 1 on the final drive with a run.
Anyone who has to QB under BF and his lousy O Lines deserves a few badges.

Never want any player to suffer a season ending injury. Good Luck to him in his recovery process
October 2nd, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
He brought us a big championship and a osu win this sucks for him dang
October 2nd, 2023 at 9:18 PM ^
Yeah, the way he went down made this feel inevitable. He also apparently had a non-contact injury earlier at Iowa. I really feel for him and hope he can recover.
October 2nd, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Nobody deserves scorn for making immature decisions in their early 20s, at least not for mere words or even betting on college sports as long as not your own sport. I do feel bad for him and was and am rooting to meet Iowa in the B1G title game. He has clearly worked hard and recovered from surgery, only to get hurt twice (in August in practice and again vs. Sparty).

...rooting to meet Iowa in the B1G title game.
So that Michigan can pound Iowa the same way that Penn State did? Iowa is just awful and made it look as if they upset Michigan State. As bad as the West is, there is no way that Iowa is the best of the west.

When, in your mind, is someone old enough to be responsible for their own decisions?
October 2nd, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
You can see why the Lions wanted Witherspoon. That kid is electric.

He'll always have 2021 Ohio State.
Gus, after the last play of the game:
Michigan.
Defeats Ohio State.
Forty Two to Twenty Seven.
FFFINALLY!

No matter what, Cade will always be a Michigan Man. Terrible injury if truly season-ending.
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:44 AM ^
Yes, he is part of the Michigan Wolverine lore now - like Tate Forcier.
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:48 AM ^
He has another year of eligibility right? So if BF gets the axe maybe this will be a blessing in disguise. Sucks though.
