Ursuline graduate Daryll Clark may be Penn State’s quarterback

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — From the head coach to the blue and white faithful, it seems everyone is watching spring practice for signs of who will be the new starting quarterback.

Daryll Clark and Pat Devlin are the top candidates to replace departed two-year starter Anthony Morelli.

The quarterback question has been front and center in Happy Valley ever since the Alamo Bowl win in December over Texas A&M, Morelli’s final college game.

The athletic Clark, who played at Ursuline High, intrigued the Nittany Lions’ fans when he rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown on six carries as a change-of-pace-type quarterback against the Aggies in the most meaningful playing time of his college career.

Paterno said his son and quarterbacks coach, Jay Paterno, wanted to play Clark more last season, “and I tied his hands. I blame myself for that.”
