Overview
- Iowa hosts Michigan State at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday on FS1 for the regular-season home finale.
- Starting linemen Beau Stephens, Kade Pieper and Gennings Dunker, plus senior safety Xaver Nwankpa, are listed as starters after injuries at USC.
- Ferentz described himself as cautiously optimistic on the offensive line trio and less optimistic on cornerback TJ Hall, with Deshaun Lee among the next options.
- Iowa listed five running backs for the first time this season, with Kamari Moulton starting and Xavier Williams and Jaz Patterson as primary backups, alongside Terrell Washington Jr. and Nathan McNeil.
- The game is Iowa’s 28th straight sellout, and betting markets and models heavily favor the Hawkeyes, including BetMGM’s Iowa -16.5 and -900 moneyline.
