The future of the Texas football program for fourth-year head coach Tom Herman could now be largely in the hands of RS sophomore QB Casey Thompson.

A potential meaningful question was brought about for fourth-year Texas football head coach Tom Herman following his team’s big 55-23 dominant Alamo Bowl win over the former Big 12 foe Colorado Buffaloes and first-year head coach Karl Dorrell on the night of Dec. 29. Texas got to see a very efficient night from a number of their players on both sides of the ball, especially from the redshirt sophomore backup dual-threat quarterback Casey Thompson.
