FCS opponent from Portland. This is the final non-conference game before the Big Ten schedule begins at USC the following week. The starters will play a half, maybe less. The focus is on staying healthy and getting reps for young players.

Key Matchups

Young players' showcase

This is the game for true freshmen to make their case. Five-star signees Iheanacho (OL), Jones Jr. (EDGE), Washington (S), Harrison (TE), and Lott (WR) should all see extended action.

Injury prevention

The only thing that matters is getting to the USC game healthy. Expect conservative play-calling and early substitutions.
