Predictably, the calls for a change and the speculation about a quarterback change started firing fast and furiously when the Texas Longhorns struggled in the first quarter against the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday.
Beyond constant calls to replace the offensive coordinator, there’s been no more popular refrain in the Longhorns fan base in recent seasons than the strident desire to change quarterbacks at the first hint of trouble.
Thing is, head coach Tom Herman declared sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger the starter two weeks ago for a reason, and he intends on sticking with the Austin Westlake product despite two fourth-quarter interceptions that reprised the worst moments of Ehlinger’s freshman season.
