Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday, Nov. 15 at 3:30 p.m. ET at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with TV coverage on Big Ten Network and streaming on Fubo.
- ESPN’s analysis positions USC in a win-out scenario that would all but secure the program’s first College Football Playoff appearance.
- USC brings one of the nation’s most productive offenses that has topped 30 points in most games, while Iowa seeks to slow the tempo behind defense and the ground game.
- USC quarterback Jayden Maiava has thrown an interception in five straight games, and Iowa’s Kamari Moulton enters with five consecutive 75-plus-yard rushing performances.
- Betting markets favor USC at roughly -6.5 with a moneyline near -250, and analysts note a rainy forecast that could shape play-calling and prop wagers such as Moulton’s 74.5-yard rushing line.
