ESPN: TCU QB battle between Kenny Hill, Foster Sawyer ’50-50,’ says co-OC

FORT WORTH, Texas – TCU coach Gary Patterson has a deadline in mind for deciding his quarterback battle between Kenny Hill and Foster Sawyer.

Patterson said Wednesday during TCU’s preseason media day he’ll name his starter around 10 days before the Horned Frogs’ season opener against South Dakota State.

“If it’s before then, because it becomes very obvious who it is, then it’ll be before then,” Patterson said. “You have to name a guy about nine or 10 days out. You can’t go any later than that.”

Patterson said his coaching staff traditionally breaks from fall camp and shifts its attention to the first game plan on the Wednesday before the season’s opening week, which would be Aug. 24. That gives Hill and Sawyer three weeks to prove who is the better candidate to replace former Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Trevone Boykin.
