USC QB Slovis ruled out for Sat.; Fink to start

USC Trojans quarterback Kedon Slovis was ruled out of Saturday's game at No. 17 Washington and junior Matt Fink will make his first career start, coach Clay Helton said Thursday.

Slovis, a true freshman who began the year as the backup to returning starter JT Daniels, left early in Friday's win against Utah and did not practice this week while in the concussion protocol.

Fink, who entered the transfer portal in the spring before opting to remain at USC, completed 21 of 30 passes for 351 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in relief of Slovis.
