Senior Liam O’Hagan was the starter in Worcester last season as the Crimson racked up 442 yards of total offense, but senior First Team All-Ivy pick Chris Pizzotti will lead the Harvard attack this year with O’Hagan as his backup. It may seem odd for O’Hagan, the sixth-leading passer in Crimson history, to begin the season as a backup, but Pizzotti’s undefeated record as a starter and banner campaign last season earned him the starting...
