Sarkisian: No magic trick to make Texas contenders again

FILE - Texas Tech quarterback Sonny Cumbie passes in the first quarter in Lubbock, Texas, in this Saturday, Oct. 23, 2004, file photo. Cumbie is on pace to become the third straight Texas Tech quarterback to lead the nation in passing, a statistic that leads some to question whether he's just another product of coach Mike Leach's wide-open offense. Four former Big 12 quarterbacks are coaching QBs at their alma mater, with three new in those roles this spring. Collin Klein, the 2012 Heisman Trophy finalist at Kansas State, is going into his fifth season as the Wildcats quarterback coach. The new trio are Sonny Cumbie at Texas Tech, Kenny Hill at TCU and Shawn Bell at Baylor. (AP Photo/L.M. Otero, File)

Casey Thompson's Alamo Bowl performance made him look like an easy pick to be starting quarterback at Texas in 2021. But a coaching change from Tom Herman to Steve Sarkisian and the ripe talent of backup Hudson Card has made Saturday's spring scrimmage, and the months leading into the 2021 season, all about one position and who be the starter against Louisiana on Sept. 4.
