more like fiction, Slovis started, got injured, and Helton got fired before he came back healthy. The interim coach
decided to go back to Dart (who himself had been injured just as Slovis was ready) after the fact. Slovis played in 9 of 12 games, so saying Dart unseated him is lame. And Slovis made his decision to leave immediately after hearing about Riley coming, and found a good home at Pitt.
And now both he and Dart are transfers, so again, nothing to really say Dart was a clear better QB.
