It’s a luxury few coaches have: choosing between two fifth-year seniors with 20 and 22 games of experience to start at quarterback. But that luxury—and that burden—falls on head coach Tim Murphy, who has to figure out what to do with the talent he has returning for the 2008 season. So how to make the choice between a guy that stands sixth in passing yards and ninth in total offense in Harvard history (Liam O’Hagan) and a guy that finished as the top quarterback...
Coming into last Friday’s game, a lot of attention had been focused on fifth-year senior Chris Pizzotti. After an extremely successful campaign last season, earning All-Ivy first team honors, Pizzotti entered the game ranked 12th in the nation at the quarterback position by The Sports Network and with an undefeated record in games in which he both started and finished. Holy Cross came in with a potent offense, having posted 492 total yards of offense in the previous matchup, and it took a big effort for Harvard to match its high-scoring attack. Under...

A successful kick from sophomore Thomas Hull put the score at 19-7.Next season, Harvard will be relying heavily on a pair of fifth-year quarterbacks...
...position.Beyond those two questions, the Crimson appears to be reloaded for the 2008 campaign. The defense returns six of the front seven, and the backups at linebacker could probably start at any other school in the Ivies. On offense, the Crimson will have three quarterbacks with game experience in fifth-year seniors Liam O’Hagan and Chris Pizzotti, who was also a First Team All-Ivy selection last season, and freshman Collier Winters. The solid depth at the position made Saturday’s work for freshmen Matt Simpson and Cameron Ely little more than a battle...
