There was a point, late in the 2018 season, when TCU’s offense looked like a goner. The Horned Frogs fell down to their fourth-string quarterback against Baylor in desperate need of a win to keep the hope for bowl eligibility alive.
The Horned Frogs faced 4th-and-1 in the third quarter of a 9-9 deadlock against the Bears. In that moment, offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie knew he had to call his best player’s number. The ball was snapped to running back Emari Demarcado, who flipped the ball up to wide receiver Jalen Reagor. Suddenly, in the midst of a defensive bloodbath, Reagor was completely free.
