Imagine my surprise when I found some inaccurate information in a previous answer. Go figure. According the NCAA's 2008 Football Rules and Interpretations publication: Players on the same team can use the same number but not if they are both on the field at the same time. There are also restrictions to uniform numbers related to position and being an eligible receiver. You can't, for example, be #12 and line up at center (except during certain kicking formations which is why you see the long snapper with a goofy number sometimes). Numbers beginning with zero are also forbidden (ie. 00, 01, etc). I don't think having the name on the uniform is a factor. If it is it will be covered in the source document I have listed.

There are no restrictions to how many players are on a college team. If a team has a lot of players and not enough numbers, they can repeat numbers, so long as players with the same number are not on the field of play at the same time.

Most college football teams have more players on their roster than available number, ie 0-99. As you may know, there is the varsity squad or first stringers that play the big games. There are also junior varsity or sophomore teams that also play games. These secondary players often have duplicate numbers due to the lack of numbers, 0-99. Occasionally due to injury, ineligibility, etc, same numbered players are "called up" to be substitutes at the varsity level. There fore, the duplicate numbers.

I believe it's because USC has more players needing "eligible receiver" numbers (1-49, 80-89) than numbers available.

One is offense and one defense. You shouldn't find them on the field at the same time though.
