I am specifically wondering what players have worn jersey #8. I would think it would be easy to google ‘usc football roster history’ or ‘media guide’ or something and find roster lists for every year, for every college that has a sufficient fan base, but I haven’t found such. Any help out there? ---

Yikes. USC fan pages are a mess, and their “official” page goes back to 1998. That’s pretty odd. I did find this online media guide (pdf): [http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/auto\_pdf/04-mg-137-211.pdf](http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/04-mg-137-211.pdf) No all time roster or anything, which is surprising. If you have an inkling to check out how the big boys do it, here’s a good example: > **[Notre Dame Athletics | The Fighting Irish](https://fightingirish.com/)** > > The Official Athletic Site of The Fighting Irish.
