UPDATE: We do not want to cancel the game officially until we have exhausted every opportunity to find a replacement team, and we are currently working closely with Boo Corrigan and his great staff at
@PackAthletics
to do so.
Good luck to

With no game this year, Iowa will be the first team to hold the Holiday Bowl trophy for two years since - well, Iowa.

Another amazing Holiday Bowl memory from 2019: the entire stadium doing the "Iowa Wave" - shining lights and waving to representatives of children's hospitals in Iowa City, Los Angeles, & San Diego.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hilinski and

family. Tyler played in our game just a few short weeks ago and we are deeply saddened to hear the news of his passing.
Ok, the Playoff teams are set! We've locked our Selection Committee in a room and aren't letting them out until they come up with a great matchup. Stay tuned at 12:30pm PT for the announcement.

record with 5 TD passes on the night!
It’s also the school record for most TD passes by a Trojan in their first start for USC ✌️
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Iowa Hawkeyes’ family over the passing of a legendary coach and even greater man, Coach Hayden Fry. He will be missed, but his legacy will live on forever.
