USC AD Pat Haden just ran down to the field to talk to the ref

because Sarkisian texted him about an ejected player during the game.
"well I got a text to come down because Sarkisian wanted to talk to me because he felt the penalty called was unfair"

WHAT A JOKE... Really the AD comes onto the field to take to the ref about a call during the game? and even worse that idiot is a playoff committee member.

and thats A HORRIBLE chop block call that just screwed stanford. the OL had not engaged the linebacket yet and he was already being cut.

Herbsteit seemed to think it was an open and shut case to eject the USC player. I believe he used the term "textbook case".
