'This rivalry goes way back': Card and No. 21 Texas face tough road trip to Arkansas next

AUSTN, Texas (AP) — Hudson Card was solid, and occasionally great, in his first career start as the Texas quarterback.

Now he has to duplicate that effort on the road, at night, in front of a hostile sellout crowd in a legacy rivalry that will soon be reborn when Texas joins the Southeastern Conference. After beating No. 23 Louisiana-Lafayette 38-18, No. 21 Texas plays at Arkansas (1-0) this week.

“It will be an experience. I know their crowd will be jumping," Card said Monday, two days after throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns and running for another score in his starting debut.
