DURHAM, N.C. — Duke coach Manny Diaz says quarterback Maalik Murphy will face discipline "internally" after extending both of his middle fingers skyward in celebration after throwing a long touchdown pass early in this weekend's win against Virginia Tech. Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice "banter" from a few days earlier. Diaz said Brewer had said "in jest" that Murphy could do the gesture if he threw for a touchdown on a passing route the team had been missing repeatedly during a recent practice.
