IOWA will face USC in the Holiday Bowl. This is what I was most hoping for. B1G challenge for us to contain their passing attack and keep our offense on the field so our D doesn't wear down.

I am just sorry I can't go. Let's get some revenge for the 2003 Orange Bowl.
I like it, it’s a good opportunity to get another good win for the hawks.
I am in the middle of USC territory. This is great!
Lets go out to sunny San Diego and exact revenge on the Trojans! Be ready to go this time Hawks.
Some numbers for USC (nationally):
110th rushing offense, 5th passing offense, 18th total offense, 36th scoring offense
76th rushing defense, 99th passing defense, 83rd total defense, 66th points allowed, and 112th in turnover margin.

On grass vs the Pac 10/12 hasn't been good to us. Time to change that.
We have to have our offense on track as best we can and do what we can to limit their passing attack. If we can pin our ears back and not worry about the run we should be in good shape.
What are the chances we pull a CJ Jones on them again with ISM?
This is a bad bad matchup for USC.
Oh well, they deserve the free beating that they’re about to take.

With a better ending, of course.
LA sports fans are fair-weather. Probably will be too cold or too far for them. I bet it will be around 50/50.
REVENGE of the ORANGE BOWL, I like this game/matchup/venue/Friday evening kickoff!
Glad to see them get back to the Holiday Bowl. Decent opponent with a chance to win and end he season on a high note.
Meh. Iowa State got a better opponent. This blows.
The crowd will be about 50/50. I worked at the stadium in 2015 when Wisconsin played USC. It won’t sell out so there will be tickets available. As a lot of Hawk fans know the stadium is a dump.
ND Iowa would be a good matchup. USC ISU would be decent too.
So we have to play USC in A Whale's Vagina huh?
Please God let us beat a PAC 12 team. I'm so tired of losing to those clowns.

Probably safe to say we have not seen a passing attack like USC has this season. Pittman is a force to reckon with.
Epenesa hopefully helps prevent some of those passes getting in the air.
Parker has seen a few passing offenses.
It seems the Big 10 has fared pretty well against the Pac 12 teams in games out west other than the Rose Bowl. I remember some Minnesota and Northwestern teams doing better than expected in some of them.
A holiday bowl win over name brand USC could put iowa in top 10 conversation
Both not a good match up for ISU, plus ISU would have to change their uni’s since they knocked off theirs from USC.
