One more thing on this ..one I think VYfan did a good job noting above..
Card winning this battle bodes well for our current QB situation IMO.
You want a guy you think is good getting beat out by a young guy you expect can be great. (Or a real close competition and the original favorite slams the door shut at the end and 1 and 2 are confident/capable/motivated...but either is good)...Big time programs have QB battles/situations like this and we haven't had it in awhile. You want a young guy to come in and take it and Card has done that. If he sticks, and CT doesn't bolt we will have likely the best 1-2 situation we have had in many years. And yes, for those of you high on Ehlinger/Beuchele first year or so w Sam starting I am counting that. too...though I fault coaching for some of why I don't rate that 1-2 higher relative to the current duo.
I am not saying Card and/or CT come out of the gates blazing....just that the setup is very favorable relative to just about all recent years going back to 05/06 or so. I'd rather them have a little more experience, but we have to start somewhere.
Again, need CT to stick around and that factor is one reason I had kind of hoped he'd hold Card off another year...but overall I think this was a good competition and outcome/set up for us. JMHO and I'd love to hear arguments..
(but chill w the AlamoBowl one.. it is weak)
