Maalik Murphy has the tools Steve Sarkisian is looking for in a starting quarterback to replace Quinn Ewers against BYU.
in hopes of keeping their College Football Playoff aspirations at an all-time high. And while Murphy might have only and a handful of reps under his belt, Sarkisian hasn't lost optimism that everything the program planned for back in August during fall camp still remains in reach.. Really, everyone who sits inside meetings with the quarterbacks.
Murphy, a former top pocket-passer from California recruited by Sarkisian in 2021, finished the final two drives for Texas , but was more so asked not to mess up a handoff to CJ Baxter and Jonathon Brooks. He completed one pass for seven yards, but also missed Jordan Whittington on a third-and-four play that led to a punt.
“Maalik’s a natural passer,” Sarkisian said. “He throws a very beautiful ball. I think there’s not a throw that he can’t make. I think he’s got very good leadership qualities. I think the guys like playing with Maalik and that’s a positive as a quarterback. As a quarterback, you’re only as good as the guys around you.”
And yes, the pitch-and-catch was impressive, but so was the timing. Murphy evaded two pass rushers before stepping up to deliver a ball on the money for the easy six.
