I'm good on everyone, except 79 Northwestern.  There is absolutely no info out there.  I have stats, just no jersey numbers except the QB.  I guess winning 1 game in 4 years will do that.

. . . btw, the absolute worst helmet program's website is OU's.  For such a storied program, they have jack sqaut when it comes to information going back.

. . . I'm working on creating 1979 Iowa now, with Stoops as a DB.  Iowa's archive is crap, too.  Not even a roster to be found. . . .
OU's site is worse than Iowa's?

Try SoonerStats.com.  It's not official, but it's got a lot of info.

They both suck.
OU's site only has passing, rushing, and receiving.  Nothing else.  And it looks like it was created on geocities or some crap.  A typewriter maybe?
.
For a program that won 47 straight games in the 50s and went berzerker in the 70s, you'd think OU would spring for some kind of online presence.  I guess Nebraska beat the Sooners on that one....in a blowout.

You should email the A.D. with your observations.  Seriously.

That's all it would take - some man-hours.  
You contact these athletic departments and they have basically anything and everything (except sacks, pre-1980 or so), usually on PDFs, often times handwritten copies.
But it would just require someone to take those, year by year, and input them.
.
Bizarre that these massive athletic depts can't be bothered to do it.

wouldn't take much effort to find a few motivated volunteers - offer them a tour of the facilities and a couple sideline passes for a few non-con games, maybe an autograph from the coach or a couple players - lunch at the training table

zero cost

The Iowa AD got back to me - all 3 people I emailed did, actually.
.
The N'Western crowd - not a peep.

Updates:
all 3 people in Iowa's athletic dept got back to me with rosters!  Go Hawkeyes!
Bubkus from N'Western.  Of course, I was seeking their 1979 roster - the team that began their 30+ game losing streak.  Hopefully, they don't think I'm trolling them or something.
.
Anyway, this year's Kentucky team is now the 2nd I've found to average more yards per rush than pass.  There was a good reason for this, though - as the only 2 QBs on the roster got hurt.  So they took their best player and let him take the snap and run around.  It was actually effective, for the most part.  So I have to create a special card - Lynn Bowden Jr led UK in rushes, receptions, and QBed the team for the most games.  That's got to be a first since back in the 40s or something.  
.
What else.....oh yeah, 19 UK is also the 2nd team to require 3 QB cards.  Crazy.

Wanted to share this discovery about 2019 Minnesota:
.
I've created hundreds of teams for this game and '19 Minnesota had the greatest 2-WR dominance of any team, by far.  What I mean by that is only 2 WRs got a vast majority of the receptions....insanely so.
.
Just interesting...to me.  
I'd think that would make it easier to defend, right?  Bracket those 2 guys or something, but it didn't matter.  They had stellar yards-per-attempt numbers - a very efficient passing game.
