Texas QBs Casey Thompson and Hudson Card will both play against Kansas

After originally planning on announcing a starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns on Thursday, head coach Steve Sarkisian moved back his timetable following several days of practice — he now intends to name a starter on Friday.

“Both Casey and Hudson have have worked this week and have performed well,” said Sarkisian. “Ultimately, tomorrow we’ll decide. We’ve got to watch the tape from this morning’s practice and then ultimately make a decision, but what I do know is both guys will play in this game.”

The approach to playing both quarterbacks is the same that Sarkisian used to start the season, when redshirt freshman Hudson Card won the job over junior quarterback Casey Thompson.
