And the Trojans have had succifient NCAA DT success through the years that "one of the greatest" is quite fitting. After all, his only score was an =1 and USC claims these guys as well:
1926 Bud Houser
1931 Robert Hall
1935 & 36 Ken Carpenter (plus a 2nd in '34)
1952 & 53 Simm Iness (plus 2nd in '50)
1955 Des Koch (plus 2nd in '54)
