Texas Football: Will QB Decision Make or Break Charlie Strong's Second Season?

Texas head coach Charlie Strong doesn't sound too worried about his quarterback situation. Whether he actually is or not is probably something only he and a select few know, but to the masses, he sounds confident. 

Following the Longhorns' spring game on April 18, Strong said junior and incumbent starter Tyrone Swoopes has the edge over redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard in the quarterback battle. That competition has been ongoing throughout spring and will continue into preseason camp. Though Swoopes is the No. 1 guy for now, word from Strong last week was that Heard was "closing the gap" on Swoopes, per 247Sports' Jeff Howe.
