Texas QB Race: Big Update from Tom Herman After Spring Game

Sophomore Texas QB Shane Buechele won the day at the Texas Spring Game on Saturday. But, Tom Herman is nowhere close to naming a starting quarterback.

Asked during the post-game press conference if he’s ready to name Shane Buechele the starter for the 2017 season, Tom Herman emphatically said “no.”

“No way. I think a healthy fear of losing your job is just that: healthy,” Tom Herman said.

“Shane knows we have a lot of confidence in him and Shane did a lot of things really, really well this spring. But, to say he has the job after 12 padded practices when he didn’t even get hit would be premature.
