I have heard  that Michigan wants him bad (I only have one decent source) but I don’t know that squares with his academic pursuits.

I don’t think that squares with his football pursuits as he would be a backup there too.

I just have the one source. I could also see UCLA. Also could I trouble you for some apple pie? But I'd like the pie heated, and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it. If not, then no ice cream, just whipped cream but only if it's real. If it's out of a can, then nothing.

A top dual threat QB recruited by TH leaves the program when the new coach is on record more than a dozen times saying he’s philosophically opposed to calling run plays for his QB (which by definition means no RPO) is leaving? Say it isn’t so. 

RPO plays have nothing to do with QB runs.

Some variations do, like what Auburn & Florida used to run. QB power or QB counters/sweeps with the option to pass.

Sure but he likes football maybe?  It's the best combo of football and academics.  Their school is at least as good as ours.  Also, the guy is set for life anyway.

I mean, Michigan is a non starter if you actually care about playing football though, that’s McCarthy’s job. And I have to imagine playing time is a big concern, because if you were cool with being a backup and getting a highly respected grad degree, there’s not a lot of reason to move on from Texas.

Probably just kicking the tires on a visit, which is his prerogative. I’d be surprised if he ended up there, and if he did I do think it would be an indication of a pretty serious relationship issue at Texas, specifically.

I'm gonna guess he and Sark have their differences

Except McCarthy is entrenched as the starter, so he wouldn’t be playing there. But you are the expert on Hudson Card predictions, so I guess I’ll defer to you.

there aren't run pass option plays designed for the likes of VY or other highly mobile QBs? I find that hard to believe.

There can be, but a lot of RPOs are just an option to pass or handoff to the RB, and we use RPO’s all the time. It’s a huge part of Sark’s offense.  
 

So your claim that no QB runs means no RPOs is just completely wrong.

Am I?  Not sure what’s got you hot and bothered.  My football comment was the Michigan program is better than Stanford

Unfortunately we're hearing DJU is very serious about a transfer to UCLA.  Who knows, maybe Chip can turn him around.

Great I was wrong about that piece that RPOs don’t mean QB run or throw, good thing it means jack shit for outcomes on the field. His take on running QBs is however also completely wrong and does have an impact on the field … and in his QB room and will in recruiting. 
 

thanks for the correction I genuinely appreciate the learning experience.

Tell me again how many titles he was a part of and then tell me again how many Heisman winners he was a part of?

But yeah, you’re smarter than him at college offense.

Also, how many Heisman winning running QBs he’s had?

He definitely will have a choice, but it won’t be many in the top 25.

Hudson Card will transfer. Probably to someone like Minnesota, and he will be the same QB. They will lose games 

I was so close. Purdue

So did Card finish his degree here at UT before he left? Because if so he got a BBA from McCombs and a MBA from Krannert, all on some elses dime...

Surly hated that we had him and Casey Thompson as the only options at quarterback. 
 

Nobody with an ounce of a brain cell actually hates him.

He's just a Lake Travis / Westlake QB, so he got the usual media handjobs and a significant segment of the board fanboying, which was annoying, so the backlash is unsurprising.

Hudson seems like a good guy, never rocked the boat and stepped up when Ewers was injured in Quinn’s first year and kept us relatively competitive. He’s probably not a legitimate NFL prospect (ceiling would be deep on a depth chart), so that’s why the chuckles.

He was burdened by expectations that exceeded his ability (one 9.95er actually compared his arm talent to Aaron Rodgers) and being Nahlin’s predicted winner of the competition over Thompson, complete with an Inside Texas sponsorship deal, rankled some (we ended up all being rankled by both). And for a guy who was a productive receiver in HS before getting his shot at QB, he sure wasn’t a very good runner (though he did have a good game once with multiple scrambles while playing on a bad ankle). 

I would be surprised if anyone has any real animus toward him, it’s just people on the internet being dickheads, which is common. 

Good luck, Hudson.

I have no issues with him at all. He was a great teammate, and won us some games. But that dude aint playing QB in the NFL. Special teams/long snapper seems like his ceiling.

I met him at the Purdue football autograph day in July or August in West Lafayette.  I told him I was from Austin and joked about letting his teammates go to Texas A&M.  He said he had not yet graduated, which I assumed meant neither Texas nor Purdue.

Eric Nahlin said he would be a multi year starter and first round draft pick after he left school early for the NFL. But then again Nahlin is wrong about everything football so there is that.

Would not be surprised at all if he made an NFL roster as a a backup or taxi squad player.

Best of luck to him.

Hudson wore the Burnt Orange, so I’ll always tip my cap to him. Just the same as my “favorite” Horns while they were struggling during the mid-late ‘80s - Britt Hager and Eric Metcalf for example.

Hook’em!!!

I watched the first half of the Purdue-Indiana game, because Card was benched after that. I'm not sure why Purdue's coach made that choice, because in the few drives I saw, his replacement was complete ass, including fumbling a handoff on the first play from scrimmage in the second half.

Card himself... was fine. Other than one errant throw near the end of the first half, most of his passes were generally on-target and well-thrown. He did have an INT that was more of a great play by an Indiana LB (and a ton of pressure from the DL) than anything he did wrong. Most of Purdue's failures on offense were due to receivers dropping very catchable balls, getting behind the sticks after failed running plays and painful drive-killing penalties.

Purdue is terrible overall. But Card looks like a pretty decent QB now.

Card was nails against Alabama, on one leg. Those Texas teams were so talented they didn’t need much at QB. We were winning with Quinn, but he wasn’t much more pleasant to watch. Hopefully the trend of increasingly better QB play continues.

Gonna watch the Illinois game, now. This was Purdue's best game all year, taking a top-25 team into OT, as opposed to the beat-downs they had in pretty much every other game all year.
