The Texas A&M Aggies, led by quarterback Kenny Hill, started out 5-0 last season. As Hill struggled through the middle of the season, true freshman Kyle Allen was thrown into the fire at starting quarterback. Allen proved capable of being a starter in the SEC, and even more should be expected from him this season.
Allen was the top-rated quarterback in the country coming out of high school, and he got an early chance to show his potential in the second half of his freshman season.
After Hill was pulled near the end of the 59-0 massacre against the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, Allen started the rest of the season.
