When sophomore Kyle Allen was named as the Aggies starting quarterback before the season even began, many assumed Kyler Murray would be riding the bench for much of the season. Kevin Sumlin had different plans in mind.

"We had a plan on playing Kyler that whole time," Sumlin said according to 247Sports.

While Murray played well in spots, his coach revealed the freshman was a bit shell shocked by the college game at first glance.

"He ran out of time in the first half," Sumlin said.
