Boston College Daily Links: Wednesday, April 23

Good morning and happy Wednesday. No great BC moments from last night's NHL playoffs, though Brian Boyle did have an assist in the Rangers game. However,there was a nice flashback moment for those of us who were in Philly a couple of weeks ago and missed the hospitality of their sports fans:

We start the links with football, including Gobbler Country's breakdown of ACC Atlantic Division quarterbacks:

2014 ACC Quarterback Breakdown: Atlantic Division - Gobbler Country

No longer are the days of Chase Rettig as a Boston College Eagle. Rettig started the past 3 seasons for the Eagles after beating out Dave Shinskie his freshman year. While his future in the NFL is indeed questionable, the consistency at the Quarterback position will surely be missed in Chestnut Hill Now on to the future. The first name that you will hear when it comes to who will be slinging the ball in Boston next season is Tyler Murphy. Yep, that Tyler Murphy, former Florida Gator Tyler Murphy.

Here is some news that bodes well for #therivalry:

Wake Forest defensive coordinator Mike Elko said a total of nine defensive linemen were available for the Deacs' scrimmage on Friday. Total. Nobody sidelined with an injury. "That's what we've got," Elko said. "Obviously the sell in recruiting around here is, ‘If you want to play early, come play D-line at Wake.'"

And here is some news that will probably never ever ever impact BC:
