Ronnie Lott, USC safety: That whole staff that Coach Robinson had was outstanding. They really weren’t worth a shit till I got hold of ’em. John Robinson, USC head coach: It was all coaching. The two starting running backs both won Heisman trophies. USC’s offensive line alone combined for 30 Pro Bowls. John Robinson’s 1979 team collectively played in 64 Pro Bowls. Three others helped teams win Super Bowls: Keith Van Horne and Jeff Fisher with the 1985 Bears and Riki Ellison with three 49ers teams.īy comparison, the stacked 2001 Miami Hurricanes roster combined to appear in 46 Pro Bowls. Seven of their teammates also played in Pro Bowls during their NFL careers: Dennis Smith, Joey Browner, Chip Banks, Don Mosebar, Roy Foster, Hoby Brenner and Charles White. Among those Trojans are four Pro Football Hall of Famers: Anthony Munoz, Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen and Bruce Matthews.
