Kyle Allen Is Clearly Texas A&M's Best QB, but Is He Ready for SEC Play?

Throughout Kyle Allen’s short Texas A&M career, “certain” has never been a word associated with his hold on the Aggies’ starting quarterback role.

The former 5-star prospect had to wait behind Kenny Hill to claim the starting job midway through last season following Hill’s suspension (and eventual transfer to TCU), and this fall, he’s had to hold off highly touted 5-star freshman Kyler Murray to keep the job.

Following a poor first half in the season opener against Arizona State, Murray started the second half, although Allen returned to salt away a 38-17 win with a trio of fourth-quarter drives.
