The Texas Longhorns are in the midst of a quarterback battle as the 2016 college football season approaches, but ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit thinks he knows who will be under center first when UT takes on Notre Dame in the season opener.

Herbstreit was asked on Twitter if he thought freshman Shane Buechele would beat out Tyrone Swoops for the starting job.

This is what he said:

Yes without a doubt. Texas is coming this year. https://t.co/2qLTfnJkMO — Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) August 20, 2016

Buechele was a four-star prospect and the No. 190 recruit in the country in the class of 2016 according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. He enrolled at Texas in January, and is in a heated race with the senior Swoops.

Swoops threw for 537 yards and four touchdowns for Texas last season. He used his legs to rush for 451 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

Regardless of who wins the job, it is interesting that Herbstreit appears to be high on the Longhorns this season - saying that Texas is coming this year.
