Quarterback Mark Gronowski, who suffered a knee injury against Indiana on September 27, confirmed he's been improving throughout the week and plans to play, though he admitted he's not at 100 percent. The senior transfer said he continues to improve each week and feels better than he did in previous games.

Iowa Looking Relatively Healthy Against a Struggling Oregon Team

The Hawkeyes should feel confident about their health status heading into this matchup. While Mark Gronowski isn't 100 percent recovered from his knee injury, Iowa's overall roster appears significantly healthier than Oregon's.

The bye week proved beneficial for Iowa's recovery, allowing key players time to heal and prepare for this crucial Big Ten battle. Gronowski indicated his training staff managed his workload wisely during the week, and he's confident he can contribute to Iowa's game plan going forward.​

Iowa's defensive unit, ranked among the nation's top 10 in scoring defense, should feel encouraged facing an Oregon offense missing its top receiver Dakorien Moore.

The Hawkeyes' relative health advantage could prove decisive in Kinnick Stadium's intimidating environment. With Oregon missing numerous players on both sides of the ball and facing questionable availability with key contributors, Iowa enters Saturday's clash with a genuine opportunity to capture a significant resume win.​
