Well the real problem for Card during this game, was mental. You alluded to it. He was like a "green" lieutenant in his first battle. With bombs blasting around him and his men dying he couldn't pull the trigger on a pass or a run. He had receivers open. Thankfully this is something that can be overcome. He just needs to own it and come out every time with his big boy pants on. I'm not mad at him. Heated battles or highly competitive environments can and will produce some degree of shock and he didn't handle it well. But, luckily, for the longhorn nation we have Thompson.
Sark needs to settle Card down and develop his confidence and turn him into a warrior. Maybe, grabbing Card by his face mask and looking him in the eyes and telling him he is a warrior (something like that) before he steps on the field would help Card with his psyche.
Its good that Card is getting a regular dose of playing time.
