I apologize if this is not a new observation but one thing I thought about after Sark made the announcement that Thompson will start Saturday. Regardless of the quarterback Saturday, the player is probably going to look pretty good against an inferior opponent. So the fact that Sark made the change as early as he did tells me that he’s prepared to make a more permanent change. In other words, there’s little doubt that Card would have had a good game against Rice as well. That would have been the expectation. And had he (had a good game against Rice), Longhorn Nation would have subsequently been opposed to a switch. Given that reality, Sark still made the decision to change quarterbacks. Impressive.
Of course, I agree with the decision.
