CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- As the college football clock of Tyler Murphy winds down, Boston College coach Steve Addazio's urge to lament what could have been is ratcheting up.

He wants more time with his fifth-year quarterback, whose football odyssey exposed him to a who's who of notable football coaches including Randy Edsall, Doug Marrone, Al Golden, Urban Meyer, Charlie Weis and Will Muschamp.

The journey continues Saturday when BC takes on undefeated and Florida State (ranked No. 3) and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston in Tallahassee (3:30 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN2).

Winston is also counting down his final college days, but that's because he will likely forgo his remaining eligibility for the plush coffers of the NFL, which await him in spite of a series of unseemly off-the-field issues.

It is unlikely Tyler Murphy will be drafted. That, said his coach, is what frustrates him about his lack of eligibility.

"I wish I had another year with Tyler,'' Addazio said. "He's a really young quarterback because he didn't get a chance to play, which is the real shame of it. He's developing all the time but he's running out [of time].

"He's a guy who can beat you with his feet, he throws a great ball and he loves football. I think you haven't seen the best of him yet.

"But it's a position that requires you to play to develop. The kid had three different [offensive] coordinators at Florida, which is a lot of different guys with different styles and different ideas."
