Kevin Sumlin discusses his QBs heading into UCLA game: ‘They all have strengths’

Head coach Kevin Sumlin said on Tuesday at a press conference that Texas A&M has no plan to name a starting quarterback as it heads into a Week 1 battle at UCLA.

The Aggies have been described as generally “hush hush” about the matter in fall camp. Sumlin said that’s because he wants to do what’s best for the team.

There’s evidently no need to let any secrets out of the bag, but Sumlin said all of the quarterbacks have strengths. The younger guys, he added, have weaknesses.

Jake Hubenak, Nick Starkel and Kellen Mond all have been vying to get an edge.
