Casey Thompson
On the day, Casey Thompson’s statistics don’t look as impressive as Hudson Card’s given the interceptions. It should be noted, however, that his second interception came at the end of the game in a hail mary attempt.
Thompson was 23 of 42 (54.8%) for 242 yards and two interceptions. He would have had a long touchdown pass to Joshua Moore that hit him in the hands and was eventually dropped. Drops were a constant theme all game long. That is nothing new to the current team.
Even still, the offense flowed well under Thompson. He displayed poise in the pocket and for most of the game he made good reads on defenders, it didn’t hurt either to have Robinson next to him to throw off the defense.
After a very good first half, Casey Thompson finishes with a big mistake. He's picked off by D'Shawn Jamison in the red zone, who goes about 95 yards down the sideline for a touchdown.

The interception he threw to D’Shawn Jamison was the result of Thompson not throwing it sooner, getting fooled by coverage, and Whittington not having quick enough hands at the point of the catch, who otherwise had a great game.

Overall, Thompson actually had a really nice game, proving the Alamo Bowl wasn’t a fluke. Despite few splash plays, he looked calm, cool, and collective with the starters.
