On that same subject, did you know that USC QB Jimmy Jones was the first ever African-American QB to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated? After winning the Rose Bowl to cap an undefeated 1969 season, Jones led the Trojans "all-black" backfield in 1970 featuring RB Clarence Davis and FB Sam "Bam" Cunningham.
Side note to this photo: USC was wearing a helmet sticker to commemorate 100 years of college football. USC football did not start until 1888.
