Sark Likes What He Sees At The Quarterback Position

Lost in the 'will they, won't they' talk surrounding Texas' potential jump to the SEC, the Longhorns have themselves a good old fashioned quarterback competition. Casey Thompson, a junior, and redshirt freshman Hudson Card are competing to be the opening game starter for head coach Steve Sarkisian's Texas debut.

Speaking at Big 12 Media Day, Sarkisian expressed confidence in both signal callers: “They both have huge upside. I love coaching them. And I think we’re in good hands at that position.”

“Casey Thompson is a guy who has been in the program a little bit longer,” Sarkisian said. Everybody remembers what he did in the Alamo Bowl with four touchdown passes in the second half. Very athletic guy. Very driven, very focused. High football IQ. Great leader.”

“Hudson Card, tremendous passing ability, great instincts of passing the football.”
