Is Marques Hagans the Man?


Will Marques Hagans be able to win the big games in 2005?

Marques Hagans has proven that he’s a winner. He is talented. He is an elusive runner with a gun for an arm. I have no doubt that Hagans can go on the field against 95 of the 117 teams in Division 1-A college football and lead the Wahoos to victory. The question is, can he lead his team to victory over the other 22?

Hagans is just a junior and 2004 was his first full cycle (spring camp, fall camp, regular season) playing just the quarterback position. The expectation is that by next year Hagans will have matured at the position and be ready for a big senior season. After all, that’s what happened with two other ACC quarterbacks this season, right?
