COLLEGE STATION — Kyle Allen had an up-and-down game in No. 16 Texas A&M’s season-opening win over Arizona State last week.
Along with bouncing back from some inconsistency, he also had to handle coach Kevin Sumlin inserting Kyler Murray in at quarterback for a few drives after he’d beaten the freshman for the starting job. Allen responded well after his time on the bench, accounting for two scores in the fourth quarter and impressing coaches with his poise along the way.
