Steve Sarkisian is ‘pleased’ with how Texas is developing at the QB position

The Texas Longhorns are roughly two thirds through spring practice as the Orange-White game looms less than two weeks away. On Tuesday, new coach Steve Sarkisian met with reporters via Zoom and shared some of his most extensive comments to date about the quarterback situation that features junior Casey Thompson and redshirt freshman Hudson Card competing for the starting job.

On Saturday, the Longhorns went through the first scrimmage under Sarkisian and his coaching staff, providing one of the first big chances to evaluate their development.

Like everyone else on the team, Thompson specifically and Card by extension are still trying to fully acclimate to the new offensive scheme, so there’s still a level of uncertainty from rep to rep that can manifest itself in the players thinking too much.
