FRISCO -- Texas Longhorns fans have been looking for their next great quarterback since 2009.
Tom Herman doesn't know if he has that, but the new Texas coach has at least got a contingency plan at the position if a bomb strikes.
"We'll have a package for Jerrod Heard too so if a bomb blows up and Shane and Sam both can't finish a game, Jerrod will probably be the guy to go finish the game," Herman said at Big 12 media days Tuesday morning. "Then we'd go figure things out the next week."
Sophomore Shane Buechele, the Longhorns' starting quarterback in 2016, remains the favorite to keep his job this year.
