Considering how dependent we are on him this season, we really don't know much about Tyler Murphy. The Spring Game and his stats tell a bit of the story, but did many BC fans watch much Florida Football last year? Fortunately there are a few Youtube clips that provide a little more insight into Murphy's abilities and his experience in game situations. Obviously Florida ran a different offense from BC's and he was surrounded by different players, but the few glimpses are encouraging. Murphy can certainly create and make something out of nothing. He's also shown that given time, he can make pocket passes. Take a look at this series.
This is his first TD.
As you can see, his first instinct is to run.
This one is not exclusively focused on Murphy, but in it you get to see him throw from the pocket and run.
Here is another set that is not exclusively Murphy but includes more passes.
Does a couple of games in the SEC mean that Murphy will hit the ground running this Fall? Unlikely. But that limited experience is still valuable. He's used to the speed and different defensive looks. Plus Murphy showed that his basics are strong enough to execute our offense. He can throw and he can run. Let's hope he does a lot this season for BC.

I left a comment this morning, but for some reason, it didn't "register". That's the second time this has happened.
Has it happened to anyone else?
Anyway - methinks that defenses won't be able to load the box on us this year.
Go Tyler - Go BC.
Gotta be honest. If Murphy does well, it will be an indictment of the conference. Hope I'm wrong. Don't think so, though.

I hope you're right. We've had our best season's in the ACC when the conference was down.
