- Washington has demonstrated a strong defense, limiting USC's explosive plays and ranking highly in defensive metrics, while quarterback Demond Williams excels at creating plays on the run despite pressure.
- Iowa's run game, led by Kamari Moulton, may struggle against Washington's top-five ranked rush defense, particularly against outside zone runs.
