Aggies and Longhorns face QB conundrum
The Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies both have conundrums at quarterback following Week 2. Casey Thompson will start in place of Hudson Card for the Longhorns, and Jimbo Fisher has a decision to make between Zach Calzada and Haynes King.
Texas and Texas A&M entered the 2021 season with the same problem: Replace a multiple-year starter at quarterback.

The grass isn’t always greener or burnt orange or maroon.
Let’s start with Texas A&M. Head coach Jimbo Fisher inherited Kellen Mond.

He started 44 games in his four-year career and finished 3-0 in bowl games.
