How to watch USC at Iowa

Channel: CBS
Location: Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, Iowa

USC is coming off an important victory in Week 11 after coming in at No. 19 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings. The Trojans took down Northwestern in a Friday night matchup at the Coliseum. It looked like a back-and-forth affair, but a huge play by Jayden Maiava on an interception – which he turned into a forced fumble and ensuing touchback – proved to be a turning point.

Iowa, meanwhile, faced an intriguing game against Oregon. It was shaping up to be strength-on-strength as the Hawkeyes and Ducks squared off. Both teams needed the victory to stay in the national picture as the final few weeks of the regular season arrive.

Now, the stage is set for USC at Iowa in Week 12. It will be CBS’ Big Ten game of the week in the 3:30 p.m. ET window.
