As No. 18 Michigan makes final preparations for today's showdown with No. 11 USC, the Big Ten Conference has released availability reports on both teams.

Tight end Colston Loveland, who left last week's game against Arkansas State with an upper body injury, has been ruled 'Out' for today's game against the Trojans. Loveland leads Michigan in both receptions (19) and receiving yards (187) on the season, and is one of the best players in all of college football. His absence will put added pressure on new starting quarterback Alex Orji and a Wolverines' offense that has struggled mightily through the first three weeks.

In addition to Loveland, Michigan will also be without freshman running back/returner Jordan Marshall, defensive backs Jaden Mangham, Micah Pollard and Rod Moore and special teamer Jason Hewlett. Graduate senior quarterback Jack Tuttle remains 'Questionable' for the third consecutive week, while linebacker Jimmy Rolder is also 'Questionable' for the Wolverines.

Kickoff between Michigan and USC is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, with CBS carrying the broadcast.
