It's been six years since the Longhorns had a reliable starter at quarterback and that doesn't look likely to change any time soon.
From all appearances, the Texas Longhorns coaching staff wants junior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes to seize command of his position. Unfortunately for the staff -- and fans hoping for improvement this season -- Swoopes just wasn't able to show anything more than limited progress against the Notre Dame Fighitng Irish on Saturday.
All the offseason rhetoric indicated that Swoopes had an edge, that he was eager to prove all his doubters wrong, that he won the team, that he improved his footwork.
