There's no way to sugarcoat it: The Hawkeyes' last game, an 18-16 loss against Oregon, stung. The opportunities to win the game presented themselves, but the team failed to capitalize on them.
However, Kamari Moulton said it best: The team cannot dwell and needs to move on.
They have a great opportunity to bounce back against a talented USC squad. The Trojans are sitting at 5-1 in the conference and need a win to keep their potential Big 10 championship game hopes alive.
USC has shown flaws and can be defeated if the Hawkeyes do the right things.
