Hud will Start, Casey will play.

He won't be the starter, but he can start acclimating and learn the playbook.

This just popped into my head. Ask Cam Rising. His transfer to Utah seems to have gone well....NOT! Charlie Brewer just won that starting job.

JQJ also went to Utah right?

I think so.

Apparently Utah has a thing for QB's from Texas (the state and university)

 

[TexCoyote]

I know no one will believe this but I saw Card in high school and I said right then that he’ll be the next QB at Texas after Ehlinger.  Not that I’m a QB guru, but you could just see the kid had “it”.  Fast, good arm, smart, tough and now the top player caller in the country calling the plays.  ALOT to like about this

xNo expert either but have slept at a Holiday Inn. If Texas wins does not matter if Card looks good orbad.

Howevera loss then powder river let her buck.

 That depends on if the defense and special teams too. If the offense puts up 40 points or so, no sense changing the plan. It's going to take 2-3 games for any new starter to gain confidence and pulling someone only prolongs that. Let's hope we don't have to worry about losses early, because as said before, the 2nd string QB is often the most popular man on campus, when we are losing.

 Not sure where Chip got it..

Oh I do....

Not on the news yet, but book it.

Where will Thompson go and immediately be the starter?

the offense will still go thru Bijan...whether its by handoff or swing pass , he will make the offense go...if he gets his touches and the lineman do their job, the QB is going to get a lot of 2nd down and short looks...and then late in the game they can go to Roschon and pound the rock and eat up clock....If UT throws the ball more than 25 times a game then Bijan better be on the sideline with 200 yds rushing and a couple of TD's

Or insert Keilan Robinson and keep your foot on the gas.

This. In the Big 12, no lead is safe, and quick scoring is the norm. Pounding out a run game can easily backfire.

Not if your RB averages 8 yds a carry. That’s not pounding out a run game.

With Sark calling the plays I trust that he will call plays that work and avoid ones that don't no matter the score (excluding blow outs).  In some games this will involve more running plays then others.

I think JD was referring to RoJo talking over to run out the clock. He averages a little over 5 ypc. Not  bad, but not 8 ypc.

 

[Hiwood]

defenses are going to have to put at least 7 maybe 8 bodies in the box to stop or at least slow dow Bijan, we know that he can take it to the house on any play , if he gets past the linebackers he is gone...that should give the receivers a lot of one on one matchups, if Card is as slick as I think he is, play action is going to be deadly, In Sark's offense the QB must hit receivers in space and let them break it for huge gains after the catch. UT fans need to get out of the mindset and the type of offense we have seen in the last couple of years. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Been saying for a while now game has changed. Offence is what wins games now.

But RoJo may get 5-10 touches a game. That’s not pounding out a run game. The RB with the most touches (Bijan) averages 8 yds a game.

If Thompson leaves I'd like to see Roschon get another chance at QB. He proved to be the ultimate team player when we needed RBs and he made the switch. How many other QBs would do that?

He may never be able to overtake Card, or other QBs we may sign. But having another backup is never a bad thing, plus we may could run some interesting wildcat formations with his throwing ability. 

That's assuming he wants to... Guys that sacrifice like that should be given more options down the line.

that ship has sailed, RJ is not going to vault over Wright and Ballard...they may play him in a wildcat set up but if he has to play QB at UT then half the team has CV19
