USC RB Ronald Jones wears No. 4 to honor Joe McKnight in Rose Bowl

USC running back Ronald Jones is wearing No. 4 in honor of former Trojans running back Joe McKnight, who was killed in Louisiana last month.

McKnight was reportedly in a conflict at a highway intersection and attempting to apologize to another man, who then shot him more than once.

Ronald Gasser was initially released without charges but later arrested and jailed on a charge of manslaughter.
