Texas is gearing up to start its season against Louisiana-Monroe and late last week, Steve Sarkisian answered the biggest question of the offseason. He named Quinn Ewers the starting quarterback over Hudson Card, and the former Five Star Plus+ recruit will be under center for the season opener at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium Sept. 3.

Sarkisian spoke on the decision to go with Ewers over Card for the first time during a press conference on Aug. 22. He said he and the coaching staff are more than comfortable rolling with Ewers. It’s all because of his natural ability and the progress he’s made so far at Texas.

“I think Quinn provides the ability to make all the throws in our system. I think he’s got playmaking ability and he’s got a natural passing ability. … I’m excited for (Ewers) and I’m excited for our team,” said Sarkisian. “Quinn can make all the throws. I feel very comfortable about that and I feel comfortable about his playmaking ability. His growth in the system has been one where we can really kind of see where it’s going to head under him. I’m excited about it.”

After spending a season at Ohio State, Ewers transferred back to The 40 Acres to fight for Texas’ starting gig. In the end, he did enough to win out in that fight over the veteran Card.
