The USC Trojans secured a massive conference home win, rallying from two separate 14-point deficits to defeat No. 21 Iowa, 26–21.

Now ranked No. 17, the Trojans are poised to climb even higher as they turn their attention to their biggest test of the season in a pivotal road matchup against Oregon.
