For one of the first times all season, Iowa is nearly fully healthy heading into a game.
With a tough opponent like USC standing in their way, the Hawkeyes need all hands on deck to go on the road and knock off the Trojans. And the pregame injury report bodes very well for Iowa in that regard.

For the Hawkeyes, only two players were ruled out for this game. Wide receiver Jarriett Buie has been out all season long and will not make his season debut on Saturday. Tight end Addison Ostrenga suffered a season-ending injury in week two against Iowa State, so he’s out as well.

- WR Zacharyus Williams
- DL Jamaal Jarrett
- RB Eli Sanders
- LB Anthony Beavers Jr.
- DB Prophet Brown
- DB Chosen Johnson (out for the season)
These four Trojans are listed as questionable for the game:
