Pat Devlin speaks

Real quick before the Daryll Clark call: When Pat Devlin was asked on his conference call this morning about whether he would consider transferring, there was a loooooooonnnnng pause. He then said very carefully, "I don't think so. Right now, I've been consumed with this."

Devlin has said before that he wouldn't transfer if he did lose out. His father, Mark, reiterated that statement to me earlier this month.

Devlin expressed all the expected emotions about not being named the starting quarterback -- disappointment, frustration. Devlin also said that quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno told him this morning that Clark won the job partly because he was more accurate passing. He also said that he was told he'll run with the first team during Saturday's game against Coastal Carolina.

If Clark keeps this job, Devlin is not waiting around to play 1 year.

Jay Paterno is a buffoon.

As always Seniority rules under Bernie and Fredo Paterno.

People make the assumption that Devlin is better right now to lead the team and run the offense then Clark. I don't care what he did in High School. How is he now with the Penn State offense. I hope Devlin does get meaningful reps the first couple of games, but to see some of the childish comments I read about this situation Amazes me.

Joe is TOO loyal. If Morelli never got yanked, why would we believe Devlin gets a fair shot. Robinson got a raw deal in the same way.
