Horns247 reported Wednesday morning that key indicators are pointing to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian turning to redshirt freshman QB Hudson Card to start the season off for the Longhorns. But what does this mean for the position itself with redshirt junior QB Casey Thompson having two years left of eligibility?
On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes deliver the latest on the Texas quarterback battle between Card and Thompson and why signs are pointing to Sarkisian relying on the redshirt freshman Card to start for the Longhorns' opening game against Louisiana. Chip and Taylor discuss some of the behind the scenes intel gathered that has lead to the QB competition trending in Card's direction and what this means for Thompson's future at Texas. The Flagship weighs in on all of the layers of this decision by Sarkisian, including if Thompson will head elsewhere with his two years of college eligibility still in tact as a grad transfer.
Chip and Taylor also discuss some developments coming out of preseason training camp, and what to make of the stomach virus that has been plaguing the Longhorns' locker room over the last week.
After a quick break, The Flagship returns with this week's edition of 'Love it or Leave it', which covers everything from how the running back position may or may not help Texas while the offense breaks in a first-time starting quarterback, if we think Card is the right guy to lead the offense and much more!
Texas fans won't want to miss this loaded episode of The Flagship Podcast!
