USC overcame a 14-point deficit with key plays from Makai Lemon and Bryan Jackson to win 26-21, maintaining their playoff hopes with an 8-2 record, the Associated Press reported.
- On Saturday, Nov. 15, Southern California scored 19 unanswered points to beat Iowa 26-21 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
- Trailing 21-7 late in the second quarter, the USC Trojans rallied amid more than 24 hours of steady rain after second-half adjustments shifted momentum against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
- Bryan Jackson's one-yard touchdown run gave USC the go-ahead with 13:36 to play, Makai Lemon had 10 catches for 153 yards and a second-half touchdown, and Jahkeem Stewart's interception at 1:52 set up Jackson's second score.
- The victory keeps USC's College Football Playoff hopes alive, requiring wins at Oregon and against UCLA to qualify, with Oregon at Autzen Stadium on Nov. 22 next.
- Iowa has now suffered another narrow defeat, with four ranked-team losses by a combined 15 points, while Lincoln Riley, USC coach, fields a title-contending team in mid-November.
