I wish Gruden would have said something a couple of years ago.

I don't think he had much of a choice. His academic side was in trouble.
Glad he found a landing spot and best wishes to him.

USC is going to have a distinct Texas flavor next year.

Some of y'all may remember S Chris Thompson, Jr. from Duncanville.
He was a Texas lean for a while and Auburn came in late.

Where quarterback competitions at Texas, A&M, Baylor and Texas Tech stand heading into the summer
Replacing: Sam Ehlinger
Opener: Sept. 4 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
Competition: Junior Casey Thompson vs. freshman Hudson Card
Where it stands: From the outside, Thompson was perceived to have the edge because of his experience, his leadership skills and his mammoth second half against Colorado in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Card is probably the best pure thrower of the two and brings a high ceiling. Thompson started well in the spring scrimmage but a pick-6 just before halftime looms as a big mistake. Card bounced back from a rough start to thread the needle on a touchdown pass to Marcus Washington. Sarkisian has focused on the need for consistency in determining the starter.
Quote: “I think both guys showed a lot of growth, a lot of development within the system. … They’re not exactly where we want them to be yet. And I think that’s what’s so intriguing about this competition.” — Sarkisian

I remember there were some questions about him being a little slow when we stopped recruiting him.

Oklahoma leaning on defense, Texas struggling with passing game
Texas: Sark's passing attack won't click in 2021
Sure, there might be times when Texas' offense looks unstoppable next fall. Sarkisian is a brilliant offensive mind and the Longhorns have some potential breakout stars on that side of the ball, like running back Bijan Robinson. But the spring game was also a glimpse at what could hold this team back. The quarterback competition between Casey Thompson and Hudson Card is likely to continue into preseason camp. Wide receivers were dropping passes, though Jordan Whittington could snag that No. 1 role, and pass protection left a lot to be desired.
It's Sark's first spring, so none of this should come as a massive surprise. Still, there are a lot of disjointed parts to the Texas passing game that will hold the Longhorns back in 2021, at least at times. Life's a bit different when you don't have Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle out there.
