Texas training camp developments at quarterback
At practice Monday morning, Lake Travis redshirt freshman quarterback Hudson Card took most of, but not all, the first team reps instead of junior Casey Thompson, who thrilled fans in the Alamo Bowl as Sam Ehlinger’s replacement in the third quarter. The move of Card to QB1 for most of practice is a departure from every other practice during fall camp, including the scrimmage on Saturday when reps were more evenly split between the two.
Inside Texas heard from multiple sources that both quarterbacks looked good in today’s morning practice session. That’s a big change from Saturday when coach Steve Sarkisian said both quarterbacks struggled.
According to sources at practice, the quarterbacks looked better on Friday than they did at the Saturday scrimmage. Apparently Monday was more similar to Friday. We’ll find out why and what changed.
Card did indeed look better than Thompson today, but both looked better than Saturday, so “nowhere to go but up”, per a source.
Today might have been the first signs of separation between the two quarterbacks. Keep in mind one day does not make a trend.
