Daryll Clark should and most likely will be Penn State’s starting quarterback this season. There are many reasons why, most importantly because Clark is more versatile, more experienced and, from this view, brings more to the table than Pat Devlin. There’s also this possible reason why Clark is the frontrunner for the job: He’s Jay Paterno’s guy. The quarterbacks coach recruited Clark, lobbied for him to play last season, almost certainly is lobbying again in the preseason and always has glowing things to say about the redshirt junior. Why does JayPa do these things? Maybe it’s because Clark really is that good. We’ll know soon enough if that’s the case. One other possibility could be this: Jay Paterno has a lot riding on Daryll Clark’s performance. The younger Paterno frequently gets ripped by media and fans for a perceived lack of development by Penn State’s quarterbacks.
