Who will be the starting QB's in the ACC? part 1- Boston College

    Several ACC Quarterbacks depart the college ranks for the NFL leaving several schools without a returning starter in 2015. Here we go, team by team, the Quarterbacks of the ACC 1.0!

Boston College

     Last season, it was the senior transfer from Florida, Tyler Murphy. Murphy exploded in 2014, passing for 1600 yards and rushing for 1100 being responsible for 24 TD's. Now, he leaves due to graduation and intelligibility. Who's taking over at Boston College?

    Let's take a look at the prospects. Darius Wade would be the first one. Wade appeared in 3 games and attempted 8 passes last season in backup duty to Murphy, completing 3 of them for 23 yards. He ran twice gaining 12. He's small, 6-0 201 pounds, but he's fast, strong and he has a cannon arm. Let's refer to him as Michael Vick Jr, okay? 

    Troy Flutie was a freshman last season too. Understand that he holds the Massachusetts state record for most passing yards in a career. He's got a 4.57 40 yard dash (as a junior in High School) and almost a good of an arm as Wade has. I believe he was redshirted last season and watched Murphy and Wade from the sideline. I still expect to see him on the sideline wearing a headset with Wade in town.

    The last option would be Freshman Elijah Robinson. Native of Montclair, New Jersey, he played for Montclair High, he was the team captain last season, passing for 1600 yards, while rushing for 1800 and scoring 162 points, 41 TD's and 12 2 point conversions. 

    Robinson should make his case to be BC's starting Quarterback loud and clear, but I believe at the end of the day, as of now, it will be Darius Wade on the field conducting the Boston College offense. But, who knows with a spring practice to go?
