According to a report from the Los Angeles Daily News’ Scott Wolf, Steve Sarkisian “may not have been sober during the Trojans’ 42-14 win at Arizona State.”
“USC assistant coaches believe Sarkisian was inebriated during the Sept. 26 game in Tempe, Ariz.,” Wolf wrote. “According to sources, at one point during the game coaches pulled Sarkisian out of a player huddle on the sidelines because they believed he was intoxicated.”
Within hours of this report, USC announced Sarkisian would be taking a leave of absence after showing up “in no condition to work” on Sunday.
