AUSTIN, Texas — Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday that Casey Thompson will start at quarterback against Rice this weekend after an inconsistent performance by Hudson Card in a 40-21 loss to Arkansas over the weekend.
Card, a redshirt freshman, will see time against the Owls.
“I think it’ll be good for Hudson to take a little bit of a deep breath coming off of last week’s game,” Sarkisian said. “The bottom line, it’s not about how you execute every play, it’s about you maneuvering the offense down the field to score points. I think Casey has put himself in a good position to do that.
