The USC Trojans are in serious trouble. After losing to the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday night and blowing yet another fourth quarter lead, fans and former football alumni are furious. And they’re really starting to dial the heat up on Lincoln Riley and the Trojans’ coaching staff. Former Trojan great Matt Leinart sounded off on Twitter and LenDale White didn’t hesitate to join him.

The former USC running back unloaded on the program and Lincoln Riley.

“It’s been 20 years of straight s**t and mediocrity and all y’all “motherf–ckers wanna do is post some s**it on the Internet….all that chasing NIL ain’t gonna get you drafted!!! How y’all say it asking for all that money and not winning is crazy..”

“I’m gonna be completely honest Lincoln Riley should be embarrassed. They should probably do him like they did Lane Kiff,” White tweeted after the game.

The Trojans (3-4 overall) have lost their four games by a combined 14 points–all after leading in the second half. This time, they were winning 28-14 before blowing it in painful fashion.

USC kicker Michael Lantz had a field goal attempt with two minutes left in the game that would have sealed the game for the Trojans, but it was blocked by Maryland’s Donnell Brown. A costly pass interference penalty on John Humphrey on the next drive cleared the way for ‘Terps quarterback Billy Edward’s Jr.’s game-winning touchdown run with 53 seconds left.

More on LenDale White and his USC football career

Reggie Bush and LenDale White formed one of the greatest running back tandems in college football history during their time with the Trojans. The dynamic duo combined for 3,042 rushing yards and 40 rushing yards during the 2005 college football season.

White was an integral piece of the 2005-2006 Trojans’ team that squared off against the Texas Longhorns in the 2006 Rose Bowl (National Championship Game), but fell 41-38, in what is still considered one of the greatest college football games in the sports’ history. Once he wrapped up his career with the Trojans, White had rushed 541 times for 3,159 career rushing yards and 52 touchdowns on the ground. As a receiver, he hauled in 31 catches for 331 receiving yards, while bringing in five touchdowns through the air.

While the Denver, Colorado native’s NFL career was short-lived, he still rushed for over 1,000 rushing yards and seven touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans in the 2007 season. In four years in the National Football League, White had 628 carries for 2,349 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on the ground.
