For starters, Clark, Devlin show promise
UNIVERSITY PARK — Round 1 of the Penn State quarterback derby didn’t produce a status change, but it did reinforce that the position appears to be in good hands. Nittany Lion quarterbacks dropped back 26 times and completed 19, not including two that could or should have been caught, for 260 yards and a touchdown. None of the three was either intercepted or sacked by a Coastal Carolina team that typically plays in front of crowds of 100,000 fewer than the 106,577 that turned out Saturday at Beaver Stadium to see Penn State open with a 66-10 victory. The rest of the schedule is expected to provide more resistance, but Daryll Clark and Pat Devlin will take confidence into it. Clark engineered touchdown drives on four of the five series he handled, completed 11 of 14 for 146 yards and turned a 28-7 lead over to Devlin midway through the second quarter. The game plan for Clark came with a mandate: Don’t run.
