The Trojans are developing a ‘very tough’ culture to prove their power in the Big Ten Conference and, possibly, beyond.

The Iowa Hawkeyes will take on the USC Trojans on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a Week 12 college football matchup.

The No. 17 USC Trojans are down to the final three games of the season, while also showcasing the talent of the younger players on their roster. For cornerback Braylon Conley, his showing against Northwestern gave him a spotlight in the cornerback room.

USC faces a tricky path to the CFP even if it wins out, largely because of its October loss at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are currently in the field, and if both teams finish undefeated, that head-to-head defeat could create a dilemma for the selection committee, potentially leaving the Trojans on the outside despite a strong finish.

On Saturday, Oregon will host USC inside Autzen Stadium. The game will be Oregon and USC’s first meeting since joining the Big Ten. Oregon defeated USC 36-27 when they last met in 2023.
