Hagans Excellent Minus the Interceptions
For those of you who watched the UVA-Syracuse game this afternoon, you will appreciate what I'm saying when I say that Hagans dominated the game with his scrambling ability. It was the first 100 yard rushing game of his career, but I believe that he could have a lot more if Groh would just give him the greenlight to run whenever. Last year, Groh often reigned Hagans in, but Hagans is an amazing talent to watch in the open field. He's far better than Marcus Vick at running the ball.
Admittedly, he did throw 3 picks in the first half, to bring his total to 5, the same number he threw all of last year. But he didn't let that stop him. And the final drive where he ran for 26 yards in a spectacular scramble on third down showed his steel. I believe he can lead the team to a lot of victories this year, although Virginia really really needs to get Ahmad Brooks AND Wali Lundy back on the playing field if we hope to have a solid year.

Hagans better that Marcus?
Your crazy man.
Every run I have ever seen hagans break, I could have gotten 25 yds+ on.
Its always a wide open field.
Give Hagans our line and we would be lucky to get 100 of total offense per game.

Wow, you must be quite the athlete, GOP Hokie...too bad UVA doesn't have you playing QB for us.
But, on a serious note, Hagans has better running stats than Marcus and has made far more spectacular evacuations of collapsing pockets turning them into long runs. Case in point...his run for 38 yards in the 1st quarter, and his 26 yard scramble on the winning drive.

I didnt see the game today, so maybe he is better than last year.
Marcus doesn't have good running stats b/c the pocket collapses around him.
Hagans always has the pocket collapse behind him, leaving the whole open field open, at least thats the way it has been in the past.
