Texas’ football program is making a big change at the quarterback position.
Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian announced on Monday morning that Casey Thompson will get the start at quarterback this week. Texas is coming off a bad loss to Arkansas.
Many fans have been calling for Thompson to start this season. Now, they’re finally getting their wish, although it might be a week too late.
I’ve heard that Hudson Card is a better quarterback at practice.
I no longer care. Casey Thompson needs to start going forward. #Texas

Casey Thompson is the new starting quarterback at Texas.
Big call by Sark. It’s quite possible that Thompson won’t turn back and he’ll never let it go. Fascinating call.
