Herman: Buechele Still Out, But Improving; Starter Undetermined for USC
Texas coach Tom Herman said this afternoon at his weekly press conference that starting quarterback Shane Buechele’s status remained uncertain, but that he was showing signs of improvement. Herman indicated that whether Buechele can participate in practice on Tuesday would be “a big test.”
Herman added that if Buechele can practice Tuesday with the ones, and stay with the ones on Wednesday, that would go a long way towards determining the starter against the Trojans.
True freshman Sam Ehlinger was 15-27 for 222 yards and a touchdown in his first career start against San Jose State in in a 56-0 Texas victory last Saturday, paired with 48 yards rushing largely on scramble plays.
