USC will square off against Georgia Tech from the ACC in the Hyundai Sun Bowl on December 31 in El Paso, TX. The game will kickoff at 11 a.m. PT and air live on CBS.
The Trojans are 0-2 all-time in the Sun Bowl with losses in 1990 (Michigan State) and 1998 (TCU). However, USC is 2-1 in its history versus the Yellow Jackets, but the most recent meeting was back in 1973.
"After not being in a bowl the past two years, we look forward to playing in a bowl with the tradition of the Sun Bowl," said USC head coach Lane Kiffin. "Georgia Tech is a very well-coached team and will present a challenge on both sides of the ball, especially with their great ability to run the ball.
"Although our season didn't go as well as we hoped, we appreciate the opportunity we now have to play another game and attempt to go out on a winning note."

Sad that Georgia Tech is playing in this bowl they have a losing record! I would rather see SC play in the Las Vegas Bowl against Boise St and that is supposed to be a step down!
