Cade suffered what looked to be a lower leg, non-contact injury on Saturday night as he was scrambling out of the end zone. If you remember Cade had an injury at Michigan last year and went to a surgeon in LA to fix it. During Iowa's fall camp he was running during a scrimmage and looked to have hurt himself again.
I have mentioned it here a number of times, but I felt Cade has not been close to healthy and probably hasn't been since late in the 2021 season. He looked limited against Georgia in the CFP and was not sharp at all to start the 2022 season. At Iowa, he seemed to have trouble moving in the pocket and stepping into throws to get the ball downfield.
Now many outlets are reporting that lower leg injury will keep Cade out for the year. Most speculate it's a knee, when I saw it happen, I thought it was an Achillies. The expectation is Kirk Ferentz will give everyone an update today during his weekly press conference.
Cade has been a little bit full of piss and vinegar since he left Ann Arbor towards his former team, but I don't think any of us wanted to see him go out with an injury. Hopefully, he can heal up and get another year of college football.
- IU at Michigan will be a noon kick on Fox
- Jadyn Davis is putting on show in his final year of high school football. Per Max Preps, he has completed 78% of his passes, thrown 21 TD's, with 0 interceptions. Great to see Michigan will be in great hands at the QB position moving forward!

Watched the MSU/Iowa game. Cade's injury was a weird one. No contact. Just wonder if with the injured leg, he really wasn't ready to play. Just pure conjecture, but maybe something was prescribed to get him out on the field and it pushed the leg/knee past the breaking point so to speak. Look I think Cade was out to prove to the world, i.e. Michigan, it was him and not the team/scheme. And Brian Ferentz has his career riding on this season. Even with Cade I didn't see that offense averaging what? 26 pts a game or something like that?
Cade was our quarterback in 2021 when we beat Ohio State. I will always appreciate that. I wish him all the best and good luck to him for the future....
Blue for life
MM,
Wish Cade would of taken the same high road you did! He was a little saucy as he walked out the door. Major college football is a business. A BILLION $ business! You don't have to like, but its a "what have you done for me lately". Jimmy likes to talk about a meritocracy, and the guy with the best chance to take Michigan further was JJ. JJ has a stronger arm and is more mobile. If anything the QB competition might of been a bit of sham! They knew JJ was going to be the starting QB. Jim gave Cade the chance to win it outright, but JJ just had too much going for him for that to happen.
