How many former USC players played in the Super Bowl?
Five players in this year's (2008) Super Bowl XLII alone are from USC, reinforcing an old adage that one of the best ways to win a Super Bowl is to have a Trojan on your team. There have been 92 in all Super Bowls combined. 11 are in the Hall of Fame, a record there, too.
For the winning NY Giants, it was rookie Steve Smith. For the 18-1 New England Patriots season they had Junior Seau, Tom Malone, Matt Cassel and another rookie, Oscar Lua -- showing just how NFL-ready Pete Carroll makes his players.

Here's a USC Trojan paper USC Rips It article:
= Trojans in the NFL = With its outstanding football heritage, it's no surprise that USC usually has more players in the pros than any school.
At the start of training camp this summer, there were 41 ex-Trojans on National Football League rosters, including 7 rookies. In fact, USC players were on the rosters of 21 of the NFL's 32 teams. Most of the Trojans were defensive backs, offensive linemen, wide receivers or running backs (5 each).
In 2006, there were 26 Trojans on opening day NFL rosters; only 11 universities had more players (since records were made available, USC has been No. 1 in 17 of the last 30 years).
Overall, USC has produced 436 NFL draft picks (plus 28 by the AFL before it merged with the NFL) and 408 players who since 1920 played in the NFL (or its sister leagues, the AFL or All-America Football Conference).
USC has had three of the most highly drafted classes in college football history. The 1953 class (following the 1952 season) had 15 players drafted while both the 1975 and 1977 classes had 14 players selected. USC has had more first round NFL draft picks (67) than any school (Ohio State is next with 63). USC had more players selected in the 2006 draft (11) than any school. USC had the most picks of any school in the 1990 NFL draft, with 10. USC's 12 first round picks in the 1990s tied for third most in the nation with Tennessee (behind Ohio State's 15 and Florida State's 13); 8 of those Trojan first rounders were selected in the Top 10. In the decade of the 1980s, Troy had more first round picks than any school (16). USC's 5 first round picks in the 1968 draft was an NFL record that lasted 36 years. USC is tied with Notre Dame for most players (5) selected as the top pick of the NFL draft (Ron Yary in 1968, O.J. Simpson in 1969, Ricky Bell in 1977, Keyshawn Johnson in 1996 and Carson Palmer in 2003). USC is the only school to have the No. 1 pick for 2 consecutive years (Yary and Simpson).
At least 1 Trojan has appeared in all but 3 of the 41 Super Bowls (there have been 92 USC representatives overall). Two Trojans (Lynn Swann in 1976 and Marcus Allen in 1984) have been the Super Bowl MVP. In 1977, 9 USC alums played in the Super Bowl. And Trojans have been selected to play in the Pro Bowl 201 times.
Eleven former USC players (more than any other school) and 3 ex-assistant coaches are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Anthony Munoz and Ronnie Lott were selected on the NFL's All-Time Team in August 2000, as chosen by the 36 Pro Football Hall of Fame voters.
A December 1999 story in The Sporting News listed 4 Trojans among the 100 Greatest Pro Football Players: Anthony Munoz (17th), Ronnie Lott (23rd), O.J. Simpson (26th) and Marcus Allen (72nd).
Anthony Munoz was picked among the NFL's Top 10 players of the 20th century by SPORT in 1999.
In December 1999, the Dick Butkus Football Network named a pair of ex-Trojans on its NFL All-Century First Team: Anthony Munoz and Ronnie Lott.
A January 1999 article in ESPN Magazine says that "one of the best ways to win a Super Bowl is to (have a USC player on the team). The alma mater most often represented on winning teams is USC (45 players). Lagging behind: Notre Dame (38) and Penn State (35)."
A Dec. 13, 1999 article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, which examined Pro Bowl selections since 1950 to determine the schools that have supplied the most pro players at various positions, found that USC had the most Pro Bowl selections (162, more than Notre Dame's 135 and Ohio State's 122) and produced more Pro Bowl running backs and safeties than anyone.
A May 1999 SPORT magazine article pointed out that USC sent more players to the Pro Bowl in the 1990s (14) than any other school. "The most measurable sign of a player's success--and thus his pedigree--comes in the form of the NFL's highest annual honor: the Pro Bowl. It's not enough to make it to the league, you've gotta make it in the league." In the article, then-New York Jets Pro Bowl wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, the former USC All-American, said: "USC is a football factory. Every kid in L.A. grows up wanting to play there, and the coaches know how to translate that into elite athletes."
In a Dec. 1994 College Sports magazine ranking of the schools which have been the top sources over the years of football talent by position (on a combined college and NFL level), USC was listed first at running backs, offensive linemen and defensive backs, and third at linebackers.
In a 1985 Sports Illustrated poll of NFL player personnel directors, USC was ranked first overall among all schools in preparing college players for the pros. By position, USC received top marks for running backs, offensive linemen and tight ends. USC Players in the NFL in 2007:

How many credits does it take to get accepted to Penn state University?
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
