Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong has made his decision about a starting quarterback, but it sounds like the future of that position is far from definitive in Austin. Incumbent starter Tyrone Swoopes will take the first snaps against Notre Dame in South Bend, but redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard will play as well.

Strong said there “wasn’t much a conversation” with Tyrone Swoopes and Jerrod Heard about the starting QB job. Heard will play at ND. — Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) August 31, 2015

Also of note: four true freshmen will get their first starts against the Fighting Irish.

Starting two true freshmen on the offensive line against the defense like Notre Dame’s is tough. The Longhorns will find out a lot about the 2015 recruiting class in week one.
