Kedon Slovis has dealt with injuries throughout his career at USC, and it was more of the same on Saturday.

Slovis was knocked out of Saturday’s USC game at Washington State after the first possession. The Trojans quarterback was sacked on a 3rd-down play of their first drive and was replaced by Jaxson Dart on the next possession.

Slovis seemed to be driven to the ground against a shoulder on the sack.

Slovis was seen going into the medical tent on the sideline a few times and did not return for the rest of the first half. He was later seen standing on the sidelines in a parka.

Dart, a freshman from Utah, was seeing his first college action.
