Although this news was expected to come down from new Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian this week ahead of the Big 12 opener, it was confirmed early this week who the starting quarterback will be this coming weekend. Texas is set to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders at home late in the morning of Sep. 25 to open up Big 12 play.
And it will be redshirt junior Casey Thompson getting the start at quarterback over sophomore Hudson Card for the second straight week. This will be the second career start for Thompson too, as his first came in the Longhorns’ dominant 58-point win over the Rice Owls last weekend at home.
