QB Cade McNamara says he's 100% healthy and ready to be back with Iowa's offense

Tim Lester has had nearly six months to come up with potential fixes for the moribund Iowa offense, but the key for the Hawkeyes’ new offensive coordinator might be just having a healthy starting quarterback. That should be McNamara, who started five games last season before a knee injury and subsequent surgery sidelined him for the rest of the year.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Tim Lester has had nearly six months to come up with potential fixes for the moribund Iowa offense, but the key for the Hawkeyes' new offensive coordinator might be just having a healthy starting quarterback. That should be Cade McNamara, who started five games last season before a knee injury and subsequent surgery sidelined him for the rest of the year. It's why McNamara made sure to emphasize on Tuesday that he is "100%" healthy during summer workouts, as he and the rest of the Hawkeyes go through the process of learning Lester's new offense.
