Texas QB commit Maalik Murphy picks up first win of the season

Future Texas Longhorns quarterback Maalik Murphy got one in the win column, leading his Serra Cavaliers to a 12-6 win over the Chaminade Eagles on Friday.

Murphy finished the game 12-of-30 passing for 166 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

The Cavaliers — and Murphy himself — struggled with the speed of the Chaminade defense and were unable to find an offensive rhythm throughout the game. One sequence saw a speed rush get past the backside tackle, bringing Murphy down for a blindside sack and a loss of 12 yards.

Back-to-back false start penalties set up the offense with a 3rd and 34, putting the defense at a significant advantage.
