Not to raise alarm, but LenDale White was carted off the field yesterday with an apparent shoulder injury. This could throw a kink in USC’s plan to run wild on UCLA’s weak defensive line.

Last year, a couple days before the Orange Bowl game, LenDale was nursing a sore knee when Pete Carroll’s wife came over, rubbed it and said a little prayer. The next day LenDale felt a dramatic improvement and was ready to go.

Here’s to hoping for a little of that same magic….
