Giardi racked up a triple crown of sorts on offense last season for the freshman squad.

Last season, Giardi led all freshmen in rushing with 270 yards on 50 carries (a 5.4 yards per carry average), in passing with 536 yards and four touchdowns, and in total offense with 806 yards.

Giardi is a crafty quarterback, who can run very well and can throw well, too. He is primarily an option quarterback.

"I am probably better on the run," Giardi said. "I don't have a strong arm. I think Morgan has the strongest arm, but I have the best combination. I think it is pretty much even between five or six guys. Nobody has gotten anything perfect, that's for sure."

The Experienced Gun

Senior Pete Bassett, whose arm strength rivals Morgan's, is also a solid drop-back passer.

Although Bassett has taken only a few snaps for the varsity squad, he is used to the throwing game.

Bassett, who holds five South Carolina high school passing records, played for a run-and-shoot offense that passed "about 90 percent of the time," according to Bassett.

He is also third all-time nationally in touchdowns thrown in high school.

Bassett, who will be playing his third year at quarterback in the Harvard ranks, has the experience edge over the other five players--three juniors and two sophomores.

Mr. Consistency

Junior Joel Lamb is the most consistent and accurate thrower of the group.

"I try to strive for consistency in all aspects," Lamb said. "Accuracy may be my best asset. I feel that my persistency and the way that I play is based on consistency and accuracy."

In other words, he gets the job done.

Like Bassett, Lamb has seen little varsity action in his tenure at Harvard.
