Widman entered Saturday with eight catches and two touchdowns. Though Murphy and offensive coordinator Dave Cecchini had moved Widman out of the backfield and into the tight end role in recent weeks, calling the 250-lb. senior a threat from the tight end position might have been a bit of a stretch.
