After a dominant win against Indiana over the weekend, the Iowa Hawkeyes are back on the road, traveling to the fire-ravaged city of LA for a week-long road trip. While the L.A. wildfires were enough to move Monday night’s NFL wild card game between the Rams and Vikings to Phoenix, tonight’s game between the Hawkeyes and USC Trojans continues as scheduled.

It’s a big game for both teams. USC enters the night at 10-6 overall and needs to build on the momentum they built over the weekend with a road win over #13 Illinois. The people of LA could no doubt use some distraction and some good news too.

For the Hawkeyes, this road trip is crucial as Iowa also looks to build some momentum and finally add some quality wins to its resume. The home win over the Hoosiers is currently a Q2 win and an away win tonight would be right on that line between Q2 and Q1. All four of Iowa’s losses this season have come to Q1 opponents. The Hawkeyes haven’t had a real road win this year.
