Texas A&M football coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday night indicated that sophomore Kyle Allen’s edge in game experience was perhaps the primary reason he was named starting quarterback over heralded freshman prospect Kyler Murray.

“I think (Allen) has got a real sense of what everybody else is doing,” Sumlin said after practice. “His knowledge of the offense and his knowledge of defense schemes and blitzes have certainly improved. Because of his knowledge and because it’s improved, he’s a lot more relaxed than certainly he was at this time last year.”
