Channel 11 television out of Dallas has reported and Gigem247.com has received confirmation via multiple sources that Texas A&M freshman Kyle Allen will start at quarterback Saturday versus ULM. Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital indicated during Tuesday's media session that Allen and starting quarterback Kenny Hill would be splitting reps at the position this week. Spavital said that a decision would be made by Thursday.

Although some people reported that Hill would indeed start Saturday, we also reported that Allen received most of the snaps in Wednesday's practice and tonight we were told that he had received all of the snaps in today's practice. In addition, we were informed tonight per multiple people that Allen would indeed be the starter on Saturday.

Allen was rated as a five star prospect out of Arizona by 247Sports.com and originally chose the Aggies over schools such as UCLA and Notre Dame. He enrolled early and competed head to head with Hill during the spring and fall camp before Hill was named the starter prior to the season opener against South Carolina. Although Hill wound up throwing for a school record 511 yards, he had turned over the ball seven times in the Aggies' last three games. All of them were losses and culminated in a 59-0 defeat at Alabama nearly two weeks ago.

Allen has completed 23 of 38 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns in limited action this season.
