Pregame: Senior right guard Kyler Schott is back in the two-deeps for the Hawkeyes this weekend after he missed the first two games with a preseason foot injury baling hay on his family farm. Schott is listed behind sophomore Justin Britt, who started the past two games.

Iowa’s starting offensive line is the same for the third straight week: Left tackle Mason Richman, left guard Cody Ince, center Tyler Linderbaum, right guard Justin Britt, and right tackle Nick DeJong. The Hawkeyes have been rotating their offensive around Linderbaum for the past two games, with true freshman Connor Colby, redshirt freshman Tyler Elsbury, and junior Jack Plumb. Schott is expected to see limited time on the offensive line this week.
