Duke quarterback [autotag]Maalik Murphy[/autotag] threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns in his Duke debut last Friday, and the former Texas Longhorn also wore a microphone as he took in a game at Wallace Wade Stadium for the first time.
The Blue Devils social media team released a video on Wednesday that compiled Murphy’s best moments on the microphone against Elon.
The video sure looks like Murphy’s getting used to his offense and his new teammates. He could be seen joking around with backup quarterback Henry Belin IV and describing Elon’s defensive gameplan to running back Al Wooten II, showcasing a command of the game that should encourage Duke football fans.
Murphy also sounds like he has a good sense of humor. At one point, Elon defensive end Ethan Grace hit Murphy right as he let go of a pass. Murphy hit the ground hard on the play, but he had a quip ready for Grace once he popped back up.
“If you wasn’t 235 (pounds), I would have felt that,” Murphy said with a smile.
