From the Daily Trojan (and pretty much every sports publication):

The prank started when White got into a yelling match with USC coach Pete Carroll and then offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.

Kiffin, however, had no clue that it was all a ploy and really told White to leave practice. White told the coaches and players that he was mad and yelled that he didn’t get enough carries.

“I tried to get my teammates to really believe it,” he said. White then stormed off of the field and told a reporter that he quit the team and was carted away.

“When a Fox (Sports) guy asked me what’s wrong, I said, ‘I quit,'” White said. Practice then resumed as normal until the team’s final meeting, when Carroll told players that they could win without White.

“I told them, ‘We won with him and we can win without him,'” Carroll said. Then the players heard White yelling that he hated football from the top of a building.

“I had to duck down so they wouldn’t see me,” White said.

Then a dummy with a No. 21 jersey was thrown off the building and the team and media realized it was all a joke.

Wow, as I read the first part, I thought it was for real. Lendale is getting fewer carries than Reggie and what is frustrating is that he is not able to plow through as he was doing earlier in the season.

Thankfully, it was only a prank and we’ll see #21 going through the middle much more in the next few weeks!
