Iowa vs USC – Week 12 Preview & Prediction
Jayden Maiava, Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans stand at a crossroads, they have the chance to win out and stamp their ticket to the college football playoff for the first time, or lose and be denied at the door once again.
The Mark Gronowski led Hawkeyes suffered one of their more heartbreaking losses in program history falling 18-16 to Oregon at home last week that felt like a playoff game and one that almost was fated for them to pull off a program win.
Iowa now has a chance to end USC’s season on Saturday, look for them to commit to the run game something that USC has had huge problems stopping in 2025.
The Trojans may give up lots of yards on the ground but their offense is one of the most explosive in the country and with a top 5 wide receiver duo with Ja’Kobi Lane and Makai Lemon making incredible plays and King Miller toting the rock at a very high level this is the most dangerous USC team in years.
