USC faces Louisville in 2023 Holiday Bowl clash: TV Channel, time, and must-know TV schedule!

In a showdown set to mark history, USC and Louisville will go head-to-head at the 2023 Holiday Bowl, showcasing two teams on divergent paths this season.

The Trojans began the year riding high, eyeing the College Football Playoff, bolstered by the prowess of Caleb Williams, the Heisman Trophy winner. However, their soaring start of 6-0 stumbled into a disappointing 1-5 finish. Williams, a force with 30 touchdowns and merely five interceptions, will miss the Holiday Bowl, focusing on preparations for the 2024 NFL Draft. This leaves the spotlight on sophomore Miller Moss, possibly the sole active scholarship quarterback.

Contrarily, Louisville emerged as a success story under the guidance of head coach Jeff Brohm, tallying an impressive 10-3 record and securing a spot in the ACC Championship Game. Nonetheless, they'll face the challenge without star running back Jawhar Jordan, absent for draft preparations.


The matchup also bears witness to changes within the teams. USC’s defense sees a shift with Coach Lincoln Riley parting ways with Alex Grinch and appointing D’anton Lynn. This game marks the inaugural clash between the two programs, promising an intriguing battle on the field.
