As mentioned above, Iowa will be without Cade McNamara after his leg injury and will be starting sophomore Deacon Hill instead. Originally a Wisconsin commit, Hill has a big arm but just doesn’t have the threat level to break the pocket that some of the previous quarterbacks Purdue has faced. That means, more often times than not, Purdue will be able to pin their ears back and look to get to Hill in the pocket before he has time to set his feet and find receivers around the field.
