Texas announced on Monday who will be the starting quarterback when the Longhorns open up their 2021 college football schedule against Louisiana over the weekend.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Hudson Card will start the game against the Ragin’ Cajuns on Saturday and vowed Casey Thompson would get some playing time.

"Neither guy's ever started a game in their career, so we'll look at it after one week. But the good part for both those guys is I think we're improving as an offense," Sarkisian said, via ESPN.

He wasn’t sure how much Thompson would play but said he would get some time.

"Hudson's a very talented young man he's got great work ethic, he really tries to operate the way we want to operate," the first-year Texas coach said. "As I told Casey, it's really not a knock on Casey. Both guys really started to perform very well after that first scrimmage, and it was a tough call."
