For the first time since the Trojans fantastic performance in the 2003 Orange Bowl, USC will take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. This time, in the 2019 Holiday Bowl.
A lot has changed for the Trojans since that 38-17 victory with Pete Carroll and Carson Palmer at the wheel. Clay Helton is now the head coach in cardinal and gold, guiding a USC team which has yet to live up to the success of that golden era.

Over on the other sideline, however, little has changed. Kirk Ferentz remains Iowa’s head coach and he’ll get the chance now to avenge that decade-old loss.
