Watch Charles White run through, around and over UCLA and Notre Dame in the late 1970s

Charles White went 7-1 against UCLA and Notre Dame at #USC.

Charles White was consistently great in four seasons at USC. He had to be in order to rush for over 6,200 yards and accumulate nearly 6,800 yards from scrimmage. Part of that consistency meant delivering the goods against UCLA and Notre Dame.

USC swept UCLA and Notre Dame this season, one of the particularly sweet and restorative aspects of the 2022 football campaign for the Trojans in Year 1 under Lincoln Riley.

Charles White knew all about beating the Bruins and the Fighting Irish. He played four years at USC, from 1976 through 1979. White was 7-1 against UCLA and Notre Dame, 4-0 against the Bruins. His only loss to one of USC’s chief rivals came to Notre Dame in 1977 in South Bend.

White was the ultimate workhorse back at USC. He had more touches than any other USC player in the post-World War II era. He and Marcus Allen are the only two Trojans in the post-WWII era with more than 1,000 total touches. When White played UCLA, he had already taken two and a half months of hits. No matter. He had plenty in the tank for the Bruins. It’s exactly why coach John Robinson called him the toughest player he ever coached, and why teammates such as quarterback Paul McDonald called him the toughest pound-for-pound player he ever saw in college.
