AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas’ quarterback competition has entered the summer phase.
The battle is still undecided, as was coach Tom Herman’s plan all along. After Saturday's spring game, he scoffed at the notion it’s time to name Shane Buechele his QB1 after the sophomore threw for 369 yards and scored three touchdowns on 23-of-39 passing.
No way, Herman said. No need. That’s just premature.
Buechele did have a clear advantage over true freshman Sam Ehlinger throughout the spring. It became obvious to Herman and offensive coordinator Tim Beck which of their two passers has 12 career college starts under his belt.
