Report: Texas A&M's Kyler Murray benched vs. Ole Miss for cursing at coach

Kyle Allen could've thrown 10 interceptions against Ole Miss, and Kyler Murray still wasn't going to play.

That's because in last week's loss to Alabama, the freshman quarterback cursed at offensive coordinator Jake Spavital after he was yanked for throwing an interception, according to CBS Houston's John Lopez.

Murray reportedly wasn't allowed to take snaps with the first team all week, and even though he knew he wasn't going to play, coaches told him to travel with the team.

There's also division in the locker room, where some players believe Murray deserves an opportunity to start, while others think it's Allen's team.

Murray, a former five-star recruit who also thrived as a potential MLB draft pick, chose the Aggies over in-state rival Texas.
