Brendan Sullivan named Iowa starter vs. Wisconsin; Cade McNamara in concussion protocol
As mentioned above, Brendan Sullivan will start under center for the first time as a Hawkeye. The offense fared well with Sullivan leading the charge in the second half against Northwestern.
McNamara is in concussion protocol, according to Kirk Ferentz, and was not listed on the Iowa depth chart this week. Marco Lainez was listed as the backup to Sullivan.
Ferentz said he was hopeful McNamara would be available for Iowa's Nov. 8 game at UCLA.
