Quite the quarterback battle is brewing in Austin. With Steve Sarkisian going into his first season, the most important decision of his head coaching career is ahead of him. Choosing between Hudson Card and Casey Thompson.
Everyone knows the situation by now. Thompson has been in the program for three seasons, backing up Sam Ehlinger during that stretch. He performed well in the Alamo Bowl against Colorado, making everyone think he would be the presumed starter going into this season.
On the other hand, Card has come from behind a bit, making Sarkisian’s job difficult. Something the head coach says he wanted. The former four-star would be another local quarterback, coming out of Lake Travis High School. Some might argue Card is more of the stereotypical pocket passer quarterback and fits Sarkisian’s system better.
After Wednesday’s practice, both Card on Thompson had the opportunity to speak to the media. The competition against each other, how both are dealing with the pressure, and how Sarkisian is handling the competition
