And QB 1 is…..

Steve Sarkisian names Quinn Ewers starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns

 

[NRHorn]

In keeping with one of the great Longhorn traditions,, … by halftime against ULM, it will be about time for us to demand Card or Murphy starts.

 

[bishophorn]

No knock on Card with this move. Just an obvious choice IMO.

 

[NRHorn]

I would have bet Card would start , just based upon his time under Sark… but , I trust Sarks decisions.
Card will play.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I wish young Mr. Ewers the very best.


just so that we can start referring to him as “The Mighty Quinn”

Sark says he does not want to rotate QBs. So we'll see how Ewers does against Alabama.

And that Sarkowski be fired immediately.

 

[Run Pincher]

So looks like those $9.95's are worth about .000995.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I’m guessing that’s kind of what The Dude in The Big Lebowski looked like in his early 20s

[Vino Bevo]

Well spoken, and gets me excited for what’s to come.

 

[RainH2burntO]

Fwiw...i think it was the right decision for the program right now.
We will see if it bears out on the field.

Patience is warranted on the matter

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Be flexible, see who works out best , and let us avoid retreating into warring QB camps

 

[nashhorn]

If my suspicions are correct, that Sark see OL weakness and needs the mobility because of that, then I pray he survives the Ala game. Please don’t replay last year!

Card is the more mobile QB.

Nailed it!
He is inexperienced - we can count on two things:
(1) He will make newbie mistakes.
(2) He'll get better with experience.

 

[nashhorn]

Maybe but we’ll see moondog. Not knocking Card cause I would have bet money he would start.

 

[bystander]

Haven't read much Hornfans lately but I did see some articles on the interwebs that made it sound as if neither QB's were lighting things up. In my view, it HAD to be Ewers. I can't imagine that Card has improved that much just from practice (Practice?). Ewers transferred and he's a stud. Isn't he? BUT... with so little playing time (skipped senior year and was a back-up his freshman year at Ohio State?) it goes back to the sage words above:

"Patience is warranted on the matter."

I just hope we can hang on to the recruits we have for 2023. We have to survive this year.

If the problem is Ewers, I guess it's time to play the Card.

 

[RainH2burntO]

Card is the more mobile QB.

True...and good point.
But do you think Sark thinks Quinn can improvise better and that makes him maybe not more mobile but more versatile?

 

[RainH2burntO]

It was in the Cards...
It had to be Ewers

The offense design may be to go deep every 4th play and hand off to Bijan the other 3.

The band should learn that song.

 

[erbutch]

The band should learn that song.

Hopefully they will learn the eyes first.

 

[earl77]

The decision is Ewers.

 

[mchammer]

The decision is Ewers.

I decided to use Bijan mustard for my sandwich at lunch today.

 

[RainH2burntO]

Ewers gonna pick Card, but didn't.

 

[Statalyzer]

Maybe but we’ll see moondog. Not knocking Card cause I would have bet money he would start.

Based on most of the practice reports I'm hearing, I thought so too. This sounds like a decision based on projections for 2023, possibly influenced by losing our best OL and 2nd best WR on the same day?

Card just became most popular man on campus.
