A day of accolades? (Footblog)

A day of accolades?

Nittany Lion quarterback Daryll Clark was named co-Big Ten offensive player of the week Monday.

The award came after Clark threw for a career-high 341 yards and four touchdowns, to go along with a touchdown on the ground, in Penn State's Big Ten title clinching win against Michigan State. His 341 yards was the sixth most in a single game in school history.

Clark averaged 21.3 yards per completion against the Spartans, including a career-long 70-yard touchdown pass to Deon Butler. Clark also surpassed the 2,000-yard passing mark against Michigan State, making him the 12th quarterback in Penn State history to do so.

It was the first of what is expected to be a big day for the 2008 Big Ten champions, the all-conference team will be announced tonight. So check back at 7:30 p.m. Monday, when I'll be live blogging the all-Big Ten team announcement show.
