If anyone has doubts about who is going to be the starter at Houston, let me erase those concerns. Kyle Allen is going to start, and it’s not even close. His skills and intangibles are unmatched on the roster, and he will pick up right where Greg Ward left off. There are some concerns in Houston that the transition to Major Applewhite as head coach could mean a drop off in wins. Allen will play a large role in silencing the doubters, and there are multiple reasons why the Cougars should be excited for 2017.
