Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian put an official end to any clamor for redshirt freshman quarterback Hudson Card to return to the starting lineup on Monday during his weekly press conference by confirming that junior quarterback Casey Thompson will remain the starter moving forward.
After Card suffered a quick hook after struggling mightily against Arkansas in his second start, the difference now with Thompson is the body of work he’s created since taking over as the starter for Card in the third game against Rice.
“I think Casey has earned a little bit more of that right to work through some of those struggles,” Sarkisian said.
