USC Athletic Director Pat Haden was tended to by medical personnel on the sideline before USC’s game against No. 14 Notre Dame on Saturday night at Notre Dame Stadium.

A USC spokesman said Haden, 62, was feeling light-headed on the sideline, took a knee and was tended to by team medical personnel.

He is stable and sitting up in locker room, the spokesman said.

Haden, who has a pacemaker, was hospitalized in August 2014 and missed USC’s annual Salute to Troy event.

“It’s been in Ohio as early as the mid-1850s at least, brought in as an ornamental plant because of its unique foliage and white flowers,” Gardner said. “It was actually planted in people’s landscaping, and it has been spreading.”
