FWST: TCU’s Cumbie will look at more than numbers in quarterback race

The toughest job in TCU’s fall camp might belong to Sonny Cumbie.

He has to choose the next quarterback.

“I’m excited by the challenge of it,” the Horned Frogs co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach said Wednesday, a day before the team began practice. “Just because you’re stepping into something completely different than what you’ve had the last two years.”

Two years ago, Cumbie and co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham went with Trevone Boykin in a competition over Matt Joeckel. Boykin rewarded them with two record-setting seasons in Fort Worth.
