Texas Longhorns Football: Offensive studs and duds from spring game

A Steve Sarkisian-led Texas team took the field for the first time on Saturday. Here are the offensive studs and duds from the spring game.

Rarely are spring games significant in any way, shape, or form. Saturday was an exception for Texas as a Steve Sarkisian-led Texas team took the field for the first time. Multiple storylines were followed on the offensive side of the ball, mainly from the quarterbacks.

Both Casey Thompson or Hudson Card had solid days but neither particularly stood out. One did not step up as the clear-cut favorite to win the starting role and will go into the summer wanting to improve.

Offensive line and wide receiver play did not help either quarterback’s case to be the starter. Sarkisian will look back on the tape and see plenty of mistakes he needs to fix up.

On the flip side, Bijan Robinson continued to be the running back we all know he can be. His ankle may have been a slight issue but nothing or nobody else will stop him in the future.

Here is the full list of offensive studs and duds from Texas’ spring game:
