For the second straight year, the Texas Longhorns will have an open quarterback competition during the offseason, head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Monday, following recent struggles by redshirt freshman starter Quinn Ewers that prompted calls for redshirt sophomore backup Hudson Card to receive another opportunity.
“I think competition is healthy for all of us,” Sarkisian said. “I think to anoint for the future, that probably wouldn’t be fair to the other guys in that room. And hey, Quinn’s made some really good strides. I know there’s opportunities he would probably love to have back throughout the year.
