Texas may face Rice’s backup QB Tom Stewart on Saturday

When the Texas Longhorns travel to Houston on Saturday to face the Rice Owls at NRG Stadium, defensive coordinator Todd Orlando and his group may face off against backup quarterback Tom Stewart after starter Wiley Green suffered an injury last week.

In the first quarter against Wake Forest, Green ran right in an attempt to find the end zone and was hit by multiple Demon Deacon defenders. Green stayed down on the field for about 10 minutes as he received medical attention before he was carted off the field on a backboard and then hospitalized.
