Classic Tailback - Lendale White USC Highlights

- A compilation of some of Lendale White's highlights at the University of Southern California. The "Thunder" to Reggie Bush's "Lightning" in USC's legendary backfield of the mid-2000's, Lendale White trucked defenders en-route to an astounding 52 rushing touchdowns despite sharing carries with an incendiary talent like Bush.
The games I used to take the clips from can be found on Stephen Barnett's youtube channel (and there were a few other channels I used as well that you can find if you look around): / sbbarnet. .

Came in as a scat back, grew into a power back. 52 Rush TD in 3 years while splitting time with a ultra talented back is legendary.
Scat back?
@@dominiquewilson mean pass catcher/ running outside of the tackles. Like Alvin Kamarra and Saquan Barkley
Fight on!
Lendale was a beast and was the best player for USC against Texas in that Championship game.
A 🦏 with speed. He was the unsung hero of the USC during those dominant years but because he shared the field with the other guy he was always in the shadows.
He was never in the shadows. They both played their roles well and got respect for it.
LenDale white would've been the perfect rb if he would've had that elite breakaway speed. He was a solid ball carrier who's greatness was over shadowed by two Heisman trophy winners that played in the same backfield. There were many games where LenDale carried this team on his shoulders and got those tough yards that reggie bush couldn't. Also much credit to those big men in the trenches. USC had a serious stable with prize stallions at all positions in these days.
Probably the best 1-2 punch ever in college football
John Vallery Nah Cadilac Williams and Ronnie Brown they both had 1600 yards in one season
Josh Allen they were dope...but one wins the heisman...one rushes for 20 tds...back to back championships!
Hard to top that
@@josh77star Look at the 2005 USC stats, Reggie had 2218 yards and 18 touchdowns, while LenDale had 1521 and 26 touchdowns. The best college duo ever.
Josh Allen no they didn’t
Dominic Di Sano thats bullshit...that was reggies all purpose yards...he didn’t rush for no 2000 yards...kick and punt returns have nothing to do with 1-2 punches in the backfield...Darren McFadden and Felix Jones were more dangerous in college together...and they were the 1 and 2 leading rushers in the SEC on the same team
I miss seeing LenDale bulldoze defenders. I miss this style of USC football. We haven't had a running back who could move the chains since Bradford.
He perfectly complimented Bush in every way possible. Bush was great, but he wasn't moving the pile on 3 and short or on the goal line.
And who is Bradford?
Allen Bradford. He was a big back who was moved to linebacker in the NFL. He surprisingly had a productive senior season in 2010. He came to USC when they were getting almost every 5-Star RB. Nobody thought he'd ever play. I'll always remember his final game at USC. It was against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. USC was only up 14-7 and then Bradford broke a 40+ yard TD and then followed that up with a 70+ yard TD to ice the game. I was in attendance and it was amazing!
JustBombsProductions That's a really interesting story. I just looked him up on football-reference, and he certainly had to wait his turn, like you said.
And why doesn't USC get any powerful backs anymore? I've watched your videos, and both Jones and Davis (and everyone else on the depth chart) seem to be slighly built scat-backs who look like they can be knocked over by a stiff wind.
PockyCandy Because the game is turning into a passing league. Plus, all USC has been doing is looking for the next Reggie Bush. That's like Oklahoma trying to find another Adrian Peterson. Bush's speed, quickness, agility and vision will be hard to come by again. Plus, he was 6'0 and 200 lbs. Finding someone that fast at his size might be even harder. With that being said, 5-Star RB Stephen Carr has been committed to USC for over a year now. Not saying that he's the next Bush, but he'll be competing for snaps as a true freshman. I don't think it's really USC's fault. The top big backs always choose Alabama even though they know they'll have to sit behind another 5-Star.
JustBombsProductions Good point. Personally, I think that it's foolish for USC to try to find the next Bush, much like it is foolish for Oklahoma to try to find the next Peterson (Mixon does sorta remind me of him though....). Those guys were generational talents that won't/can't be replicated for a very long time.
And yeah, as a Mississippi State fan, it's annoying to see Alabama roll out monster tailback after monster tailback year in and year out. They never run out! Is it too much to ask for my team to get ONE of them?
And before I fall asleep (I'm on the east coast), since you're a USC fan, I want to ask you why you think that every non-Carson Palmer QB flames out in the NFL. Leinart, Booty (does he count?), Sanchez, Barkley (the presumed #1 pick at one time), and probably Kessler have all severely underwhelmed.
White was the nasty in that offense. Loved watching him play.
Fun times back then man. Lendale was like a BIG Emmitt Smith at USC. Just moving the chains, needed multiple tacklers to get him down, wore out opposing defenses. Patient, yet very aggressive runner. Outstanding field vision. Lots of endurance and durability, and ALWAYS had the ability to break one loose for a big run. White, Bush, Polamalu, and Cushing were my favorites on those greatest years.
He was a true football player!
Still my favorite CFB player of all-time.
That awkward moment when you have Allen Bradford in the thumbnail instead of Lendale White
Nice catch, you can tell because USC and UCLA didn't use those jerseys until after LenDale graduated.
Exactly what I was going to say lol
This I is why I loved LenDale. As great as Reggie Bush was, he only had 9 more total yards then White did when he won the Heisman.
Greatest RB duo in NCAA history and it will never happen again. Not even close, players just go to a different school now if the team has a great RB.
Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown. ..auburn 2004. Highly debatable lol
Lendale is my favorite back since Marcus Allen. The guy was a stud.
I wish he would have trained more, I swear he would have been “that dude”!
Great JOB man
Always gone be luv bro most haters never even played on V in high school
Lendale was such a sledgehammer, he didn't even need to make defenders miss in the open field, he would just truck them.
Lendale was a beast ! I miss those days of smash mouth shove it down your throat football ! Fight On Baby !
I'm a Raiders Fan but I ALWAYS THOUGHT HED BEEN A PERFECT PITTSBURGH STEELER.. They would have loved him
Where did you get the "All-22" footage versus Washington State from? That's awesome stuff. Great video btw. Lendale White is the forgotten hero of those USC teams.
An archival channel uploaded that footage on youtube. I thought it seemed a bit out of place in the video, to be honest.
And yeah, Lendale White was a beast for those teams. He was the real workhorse back that wore down defenses enough for Bush to gash them after they got tired.
That footage against wazzu is pretty cool I like how you can hear the actual film spinning
Unfortunately I watched Reggue Bush highlights before this, which almost made me lose appreciation for the work White put in shown in this video. White was a beast.
This thumbnail is Allen Bradford
The thumbnail to the video is not Lendale white it’s Allen Bradford
Exactly what I was going to say lol
Basically Sean Taylor on offense
White was suck a beast holy shit
Great natural runner
Fight On!
I remember when Virginia Tech had that ridiculous, nasty defense, I miss those days.
In this time LenDale was a grown man playing against kids lol dude was a hog miss these days , still remember usc vs Texas
I loved him at USC. Wonder why he didn’t develop in the NFL? I guess coming into the League in terrible shape didnt help.
fight onnnnnnnn=)
U should do Todd Gurley UGA highlights
It does make sense for a running back's focus to be getting down instead of touchdownin so other players can get some touches on da ball
11 months later and it’s no surprised this comment got no likes. Stupid ass thing to say boi
Bryan jackson Fight On ✌️
Park Hill
When you watch the difference between Bettis and Lendale White, it is eye-opening. Lendale White is the most overrated USC RB of all-time. Hall of Famer at 23 in Jerome Bettis and a guy that was lazy and ate himself outta the league directly behind him. The film doesn't lie. Just take a minute and compare them. Bettis had speed, power, agility, and could catch the ball. Lendale had one of the best teams of all-time and looked good, but start plugging in names to put in that position with Bush among others. It is laughable. For example, put someone like Cedric Benson or hell even Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams in there and you would see how easy White had it in college. Keep up the good work though, I love the theme of these videos. It is all a matter of opinion anyway, but yea, these are fun to watch.
While it is true that Lendale White was a bust in the NFL, he was hardly overrated in college. White shared every game he played in with two eventual Heisman Trophy winners yet still scored more touchdowns than any player in USC history. More touchdowns than any player at the school that has produced the most Heisman Trophy winners and the most NFL draft picks.
And it's not like Bettis was a one man team at Notre Dame. If White benefitted from Leinart and Bush wouldn't Bettis playing with Ricky Watters, Rick Mirer, Reggie Brooks and Rocket Ismail have made it easier for him too? Cadillac Williams had Ronnie Brown and Jason Campbell. What about the Dallas Cowboy teammates of Emmitt Smith? Does his career rush record have less merit because there were too many pro bowlers on the Dallas roster?
Make all of the excuses you want to tear down Lendale White. The guy consistently delivered in the biggest games he played in and he was a nightmare for every team he played against.
Can't argue with that. White did put up crazy stats.
+Dustin Assad too bad drugs got to him
Dustin Assad dude... I’m not a fan of his but if it wasn’t for him that classic game against Texas wouldn’t have been classic. Texas would have destroyed USC. White was more effective than Bush in that game and he brought physicality to a team that was otherwise being pushed around. His nfl career was shitty but he was a monster in college
He still had a 1000 yard season in the nfl.
