A number of significant offseason milestones are coming up for Texas football. Among them, Texas figures to make a quarterback decision in the coming days.
Texas could announce the starter after its scrimmage Saturday. Chris Low of ESPN writes, Steve Sarkisian already “has an idea” who might be the starter.
It’s not hard to deduce that the expected starter is probably Quinn Ewers, who has seen multiple reps with the first team this week. Nevertheless, Hudson Card presently appears to have a slightly better grasp of the offense in the quarterback battle and making the competition very close.
Certainly, there are a number of things Texas will determine in the next week alone.
With the season drawing closer, here are a few important dates to keep in mind for Steve Sarkisian and company.
