It’s getting closer to the time where new Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian has to name a starting quarterback ahead of the start of the 2021 regular season. Texas opens up the regular season slate on Sep. 4 at home at DKR against the No. 23 ranked Louisiana Ragin-Cajuns.

That now gives Sark and the Longhorns less than two weeks to decide which one of the two top quarterbacks should be the starter in Week 1. For a while in fall camp, it seemed like sophomore Hudson Card had the momentum over redshirt junior Casey Thompson.
