KICKOFF
The story of the 2005 Harvard quarterback started back when “the other guy” was still here. His accomplishments are hard to forget, and when the first snap of the season happens Saturday many of the people watching will undoubtedly be thinking of Fitzpatrick—including, possibly, his replacements.
“This year I’m just trying to sort of mimic the way he played in this offense,” O’Hagan said. “It was awesome to listen to him during practice, to watch him, to pick up on the little things he does really well. Any other guy—I don’t think I’d be where I am today.”
That guy who goes without saying is gone, though. For his successors, everything leading up to the 2005 season has been, in essence, merely a prologue.
The rest of this story? Up to Irvin and O’Hagan to finish.
