Devlin shines in Blue-White game

It seems like just yesterday that Pat Devlin was battling it out with Daryll Clark in spring ball for the starting quarterback spot at Penn State.

But a year has passed, and after watching Clark have an All-Big Ten season and lead the Nittany Lions to a share of the Big Ten title, Devlin has finally seemed to settle into his own.

At least that much was evident in Delaware's annual Blue-White game on Saturday, when the former Lion, sporting Clark's old number, completed 24 of 31 passes for 301 yards.

Not bad.

Penn State fans will love this one.

Beaver Stadium might be universally-known as the home to college football's greatest fans, but, at least on Saturday, it took a backseat to its rivals.

That's because a spring-record 95,722 fans flocked to the Horseshoe, paying $5 per ticket to watch Ohio State's Scarlet-Gray spring scrimmage.

Lion fans' favorite quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, threw a pair of touchdowns and led the Gray team to a 23-3 win.

Matt Fortuna is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a senior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.

Matt Brown is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Collegian's football editor. He previously covered the Penn State men's basketball, baseball and women's soccer teams. While a fan of most sports, he thinks the 14 Saturdays of the college football season are the best 14 days of the year and all 34 bowl games are worth watching.
