After Iowa's loss to Oregon last weekend, the program is now 0-12 in its last 12 games against ranked opponents.
Iowa has not beaten a ranked opponent since taking down No. 4 Penn State at home on October 9, 2021.
The Hawkeyes beat three ranked teams in 2021 (No. 17 Indiana, No. 9 Iowa State, No. 4 Penn State), and have not beaten a ranked opponent since.
Even though Iowa lost another heartbreaking game to a ranked team on a last-second field goal, the players are not dwelling on the loss and are solely focused on taking down USC this weekend.
