Maalik Murphy News: Could cede snaps to backup

Oregon State isn't considering benching Murphy, but plans to use backup quarterback Gabarri Johnson more, Ryan Clarke of Oregon Live reports.

Murphy has completed 57.6 percent of his passes for 1,650 yards and a 9:8 TD:INT while quarterbacking the Beavers to an 0-7 record. The team turned to Gabarri Johnson in an expanded role in Week 7, with Johnson attempting 12 passes to Murphy's 30. It's unclear how snaps will be divvied up going forward, but it looks like a two-quarterback system could be the norm moving forward.
