Ex-Gator Tyler Murphy dual threat for Boston College | Boston Herald
Tyler Murphy is a multi-dimensional quarterback with a dual purpose for the Boston College football program. Murphy, a graduate transfer from Florida, is the perfect stopgap quarterback for BC's immediate needs. He has the tools and game experience to keep the Eagles competitive in a transition season while facilitating the development of his potential replacement, freshman Darius Wade.
It's not particularly easy to replace a guy who rushed for 2,177 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2013 and finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting. To be clear, Boston College won't ask sophomore Myles Willis to do exactly that. Still, for the Eagles to continue making strides in the ACC under second-year coach Steve Addazio, Willis will need to fill NFL-bound running back Andre Williams' shoes as well as he can.

"Wherever NHL franchises have been planted, it seems to have spawned a development of youth hockey," York was saying yesterday by phone.

Now the game's there and you end up a left wing. "It's really an interesting dynamic. And it's great to see from our perspective."
