Texas football had its Week 1 starting quarterback announced in a pretty shocking fashion with sophomore Sam Ehlinger getting the nod over junior Shane Buechele. The two freshman talents under center between Casey Thompson and Cameron Rising didn’t seem to have a realistic shot at starting in the season opener.
In the most recent full scrimmage in fall camp for the Longhorns, Buechele got the bulk of the offensive snaps and showed out nicely. He looked to actually have the leg up at that point in the position battle, but Ehlinger came into fall camp with the momentum overall.
