Two games into the first season of the Steve Sarkisian era, the Texas Longhorns have already made a change at quarterback with Sarkisian announcing during his Monday press conference that junior Casey Thompson will start at quarterback against the Rice Owls on Saturday in Austin.
Just as Thompson made appearances in the first two games, redshirt freshman Hudson Card will see playing time against the Owls.
“I think it would be good for Hudson to take a little bit of a deep breath coming off of last week’s game,” Sarkisian said. “It will be a great opportunity for Casey to step in compete with the ones early on in the ballgame.
