Hudson Card. Quinn Ewers.
For the second straight year, the Texas Longhorns went through spring practice and summer conditioning with a competition at the quarterback position, a battle with the import to significantly define a crucial second season for head coach Steve Sarkisian as the Longhorns attempt to bounce back from the disappointment of a 5-7 opening campaign featuring a six-game losing streak.
In 2021, Sarkisian waited until after the conclusion of preseason camp to name the starter in the battle between Card and Casey Thompson, ultimately choosing Card to start the opener against Louisiana-Lafayette while maintaining that both quarterbacks would receive playing time.
