I wrote about defensive end Connor Murphy yesterday and how he has made little impact his first two seasons. Remember, this is the recruit Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh spent the night at his house on his recruiting home visit.

Well, now Murphy is moving to defensive tackle. Why? Obviously, his speed to play on the edge is an issue and he will bulk up to play inside. USC actually has quite a few tackles (Marlon Tuipulotu, Brandon Pili, Jay Tufele) so playing time is not guaranteed. But it probably is better than being buried on the edge.
