The dual-threat quarterback will take over for Kyle Allen against the Gamecocks

After opening up the quarterback competition this week, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin has decided to start freshman Kyler Murray against South Carolina on Saturday.

FR Kyler Murray will start at QB for #TAMU vs #SouthCarolina.
