USC has suspended Rose Bowl star Matt Boermeester while the school investigates what it described as "a code of conduct issue,” an athletic department spokesman said Tuesday.
Boermeester, a junior from San Diego, made a 46-yard field goal as time expired to give the Trojans a 52-49, win over Penn State on New Year’s Day.
“While this student code of conduct issue is being investigated, the student will not be representing the university as a member of its athletic team,” USC spokesman Tim Tessalone said in a statement.
Tessalone said he could not specify the nature of the suspension, including whether it barred Boermeester from all team activities or only competition.
