Allen ready for 'Bama challenge

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Kyle Allen is still a teenager. However, the second-year quarterback with No. 9 Texas A&M doesn't feel like one heading into the game against No. 10 Alabama.

"I feel a lot older than 19 right now," said Allen, shaking his head.

The sophomore might feel that way because he's been on campus since age 17 and will make his 11th career start on Saturday.

"I felt old when I came here when I was 17, when I was stressed out with college when my friends were at prom," he said.

Receiver Josh Reynolds laughed when asked if it's funny to think that Allen still hasn't reached his 20s.
