Following Saturday night’s stunning 37-31 victory over ninth-ranked USC, Boston College dominated the ACC honors that were handed out Monday.
Tyler Murphy
Quarterback Tyler Murphy was named Offensive Back of the Week, center Andy Gallik was tabbed Offensive Lineman of the Week and Josh Keyes was selected Linebacker of the Week.
Murphy rushed for 191 yards, the second-highest total by a quarterback in ACC history. He averaged 14.7 yards per carry against a USC defense that came in allowing just 4.0 yards per rush through two games. Murphy’s 66-yards touchdown run in the fourth quarter put the game away, giving BC a 37-24 lead with 3:30 remaining.
Gallik, like Murphy a graduate student, helped the Eagles rush for 452 yards and total 506 yards of offense — the second time this season the Eagles have passed the 500-yard mark.
Keyes had eight tackles, including seven solo and 5.5 for loss, and helped limit the Trojans to 20 rushing yards in the game. He had a key sack of USC quarterback Cody Kessler on a third-down play in the fourth quarter with BC protecting a 10-point lead.
