Freshman Kyler Murray leads Texas A&M to win over South Carolina

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Highly touted true freshman quarterback Kyler Murray looked at ease in his first start as Texas A&M's quarterback with big runs and sharp decisions throwing the ball. Murray won't win the Heisman Trophy like Johnny Manziel did as a freshman three years ago, but the Aggies' newest dual threat has already given them a huge lift. Murray ran for 156 yards and threw for 223 more in his starting debut Saturday as Texas A&M ended a two-game slide with a 35-28 win over South Carolina. "Poise," receiver Ricky Seals-Jones said when asked what he saw from the freshman. "The first couple of series, he said he was kind of nervous. But then after he said that, he got stable and he let it rip and let it go and made plays." Coach Kevin Sumlin said Murray was comfortable and allowed the Aggies (6-2, 3-2 SEC) to speed up their offensive tempo.
