Jeff Parnell in Austin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 14, 2011 -- Case McCoy has been named Texas' starting quarterback for this Saturday's game against UCLA in Pasadena.

Bryan Harsin hasn't named who will take the second snap. Or the third ...

And neither Mack Brown nor Harsin as offensive coordinator dismissed the idea that Garrett Gilbert could recapture the job at some point this season. Who knows, maybe in the second half this week.

Welcome to revolving-door quarterbacks. Jeff Parnell thinks this is a good move down in Austin

And that could be a good thing if the Longhorn coaches stick to their plan to play the best player who gives the team the best chance to win. They have so far. They deserve the benefit of the doubt because they're making performance-based decisions. That's why they moved Gilbert to third string on Monday's depth chart.

We'd all better get accustomed to this tag-team system, because Brown and Harsin seem committed to playing a minimum of two quarterbacks a game if not more.
