Kyler Murray Flashes Johnny Manziel Like Skills, Proves He's Texas A&M's Best QB

One year ago Sunday, the Texas A&M Aggies moved to address its future at quarterback.

Saturday afternoon, the Aggies and Kevin Sumlin finally got it right.

One day short of the one-year anniversary of Kyle Allen’s first start as the Aggies quarterback, Kevin Sumlin turned to true freshman Kyler Murray as A&M’s starter.

Given how the Aggies’ 35-28 victory over South Carolina unfolded, Sumlin and A&M should never look back.

The 5-star recruit was excellent in his first career start and simply looked like a better fit for Sumlin’s wide-open offense. With A&M out of the College Football Playoff picture, why wouldn’t Murray be the man the rest of the way for the 6-2 Aggies?
