How Casey Thompson maximized his limited opportunities to land starting role

Texas Longhorns quarterback Casey Thompson has been on the Forty Acres since January 2018.

Before the second half of the 2020 Alamo Bowl, he’d hardly done so much as take a meaningful snap, and those he’s since taken against Louisiana and Arkansas weren’t exactly the most meaningful either, beyond development and gaining in-game experience.

But the fact remains that in those opportunities, however meaningful you consider them to be, Thompson has made the absolute most of them.

Since stepping in for Sam Ehlinger to begin the second half of the Alamo Bowl, Thompson has taken the field for 10 drives.
