Inside Penn State QB battle
Posted: Friday April 18, 2008 07:07AM ET
Remember Pat Devlin? The quarterback at Downingtown East High School who set the Pennsylvania career passing record, the 2005 Parade all-American, and the blue chip recruit who committed to Miami and then changed his mind, only to sign with Penn State? He's back, sort of. Almost three years after leaving Southeastern Pennsylvania as the area's most decorated prep quarterback, Devlin is engaged in one of the nation's most scrutinized position battles. In one corner is Daryll Clark, the senior-to-be with the run-first, pass-second reputation and slightly more experience. In the other is Devlin, the redshirt sophomore who charmed local fans with his accurate arm and swashbuckling style.

"Swashbuckling style" eh? Is he swing from rope to rope on his ship or getting into sword fights while exchanging pithy quips?

Report Offensive CommentPlay Clark now. He's going to be a Senior, which means Devlin will still have two years left to shine.

Report Offensive CommentI always love watching QB challenges. But isn't like watching dueling captains fighting over a sinking ship that is burning? :P

Report Offensive CommentJoePa favors the senior athletes even when a younger athlete is better. Now that his job is literally on the line, I think he'll shake things up this year and we'll see both QB's.

Report Offensive CommentWhy not play them both. Nothing wrong with Clark being used more as an RB/ Look at the gators 2 years ago. Two solid QB's but one a much more gifted runner, so keep defenses guessing

Report Offensive CommentHa what does swashbuckling style even mean? Is he raiding the local sorortiy house as night and pillaging Poonanni? HAHA
