Campus Clicks: Tough times at USC, Dabo Swinney not a fan of "Clemsoning"
Steve Sarkisian
This isn't what USC folks had in mind when AD Pat Haden lured Steve Sarkisian away from Washington last year. It was announced on Sunday that Sarkisian would take a leave of absence from the program, three days after the Trojans lost to Washington at home.

Additionally from Trojan Land, center Max Tuerk is out for the season with a torn ACL and five-star linebacker Daelin Hayes decomitted from the Trojans on Sunday night amid the Sarkisian reports.
