Texas settles QB debate by winning with both Shane Buechele, Tyrone Swoopes

A suggestion for Texas' coaching staff when they get back to the office Monday morning: update the depth chart. No more ‘OR' at quarterback. Doesn't really do this situation justice.

The right way to define it: Shane Buechele AND Tyrone Swoopes.

The offseason competition between an exciting freshman and an experienced senior ended in a resolution that made everyone in Austin happy: Buechele got the start, Swoopes got the win and Texas got a 50-47 double-overtime upset of No. 10 Notre Dame.

Strong has a starter and a future star in Buechele to lead the program going forward.
