Five landing spots for Texas transfer quarterback Hudson Card

Hudson Card can aim higher than Casey Thompson did this offseason.

Texas quarterback Hudson Card is in the transfer portal after a solid campaign in relief of an injured Quinn Ewers. He should receive plenty of interest in the portal, if he hasn’t already.

It would be naive to assume Card wasn’t already contacted by teams at least indirectly prior to reaching the portal. The once elite prospect has the tools and enough on film to attract plenty of attention.

We have detailed why he was not the answer for Texas. Hudson wasn’t the boosters’ guy, though that narrative was overblown. Oklahoma did more to guarantee Dillon Gabriel’s job than the Longhorns did for Quinn Ewers in the offseason.

More than being the boosters’ second choice, Card’s skill set best fits systems not employed at Texas. He does possess the ability to succeed elsewhere at a high-level program.

Here are five places that could be the right fit.

Texas vs. Kansas: An early look at Saturday’s game

The games haven’t gotten any less important for Texas after the TCU loss.

The Texas Longhorns have a huge battle upcoming on Saturday. The Big 12 schedule pits the six-win Longhorns against another six-win team, the Kansas Jayhawks.

Lance Leipold’s team isn’t sneaking up on anybody, but especially not Texas. Steve Sarkisian’s team seemed to experience the beginning of KU’s football resurgence in last season’s home defeat.

The Longhorns fell 57-56 to the Jayhawks in overtime last season, as Kansas converted a two-point attempt for the win. This season, Leipold’s team enters the game confident and bowl eligible.

Texas will look to find itself on Saturday after a poor offensive effort last week. Texas’ lone touchdown came on a defensive scoop and score late in the fourth quarter against TCU. To win in Lawrence, the team will need more scoring from its offense.

Let’s look at a few things to monitor as we approach the game.

Five questions facing Texas football with two games left

Texas needs more predictably good performance across the board.

We’re through ten games of Texas football. Despite the sample size, there are many questions facing the Longhorns with two games to play.

After the Alabama and Oklahoma game, Quinn Ewers seemed like a certainty for Texas. Since, Ewers has had a difficult time hitting his receivers. The once elite prospect isn’t the only player whose performance has been inconsistent.

The entire defensive unit dominated out of nowhere against TCU after struggling in past weeks. Barryn Sorrell has looked elite some weeks. In other performances, Sorrell has seemed absent from the stat sheet.

For the first time in his tenure, I am unsure whether or not Steve Sarkisian can handle play calling duties. He is still the elite play designer, but it’s unclear whether or not he knows when to make the right calls.

As the regular season nears the finish line, let’s look at what Texas needs to answer moving forward.
