Battle behind center
QB question tops Penn St.'s concerns entering spring

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Forget, for a moment, the peripheral issues hovering over Penn State football. Joe Paterno has plenty enough to worry about on the field as spring practice kicks off this week.

Among the top questions for the Nittany Lions as they begin preparing for 2008 is at quarterback, where Daryll Clark and Pat Devlin will compete to start.

Clark was the primary backup the last two years to Anthony Morelli. Devlin rarely saw the field last season as a third-stringer, though the Downingtown East graduate could bear watching given his credentials as Pennsylvania's high school career passing leader.

I didn't see this posted anywhere. I may or may not have a gigantic grin on my face.

Oh, please.

People click on these threads to get real information, not to read things that are blatantly obvious to anybody who's been on BP for more than a week.

7th night game ever in Ohio Stadium? Is that right?

I'll bet $400 that it rains.

Penn State discipline reminds me of a game we played back in the day called release. Somebody just reached the PSU home base and released the posse. Cite courtesy of OZone.

Timmons: I'm back on the team

PSU's Knowledge Timmons said he's among four who were reinstated.

The Penn State Nittany Lions appear to be closer to full strength with the football season still four months away.
Knowledge Timmons, the former William Penn standout, said he was reinstated to the team late Wednesday -- along with starting defensive tackle Chris Baker, linebacker Navorro Bowman and tight end Andrew Quarless, two more potential starters.
"It's a relief," Timmons said. "I got another chance. It's a fresh start, sort of."
Timmons, a junior, had been suspended from the Penn State team since November for his behavior in the moments after a fight in the student union last fall, where police said he overturned tables and refused to leave the scene.
Baker and Bowman also were suspended for their alleged involvement in the fight. Baker was cleared of any wrongdoing by Penn State's office of judicial affairs but does still face two possible court cases, including one in relation to another fight.
The three did not make the trip to play Michigan State or to the Alamo Bowl. They also did not participate in spring practice, including last Saturday's Blue-White Game.
Defensive tackle Phil Taylor, also charged in the student union fight, has been suspended by the university through the summer. He could return in time for preseason workouts in August.
Quarless had been suspended for a DUI charge.

o change in status of PSU suspended players

Penn State spokesman Guido D'Elia shot down a York Daily Record story that Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has lifted the suspensions of four players -- defensive tackle Chris Baker, linebacker Navorro Bowman, tight end Andrew Quarless and defensive back Knowledge Timmons.

"There is no change in the status of those players, they are still suspended,'' D'Elia told the Patriot-News Friday afternoon.

The Record quoted Timmons as saying the players were reinstated Wednesday night. PSU spokesman Jeff Nelson said Friday morning that he had no definitive update on the status of the four players.

According to a PSU source, Paterno held a players meeting earlier this week and invited the four players -- Baker, Bowman, Timmons and Quarless -- and told them they will not return to the team until their off-field issues are cleared up and their academic deficiencies improve.

Baker, Bowman and Timmons are still facing charges for their roles in 2007 fights -- Baker is facing charges in two fights, Bowman and Timmons one each -- and Quarless was charged with DUI by State College police in March.

A fifth PSU player, defensive tackle Phil Taylor, also remains suspended.

Almost makes you wonder if somebody is trumping JoPa's call.

Perhaps they are reinstated to the Stadium clean-up crew?

Good read from the PSU board.

Those five players are back with the team...so what? They all missed the last 2 games of the 2007 season at least, and also did not travel with the team for the Alamo Bowl. So they OBVIOUSLY didn't get to take advantage of weeks worth of practices and are not exactly Joe's favorites at this moment in time. Chris Baker, Phil Taylor [felony charges dropped] & Navarro Bowman still have trials scheduled in which they plead not guilty and Andrew Quarless still has his DUI charge. All 5 players also missed all of spring practice and were not allowed to participate in the B/W game. The release specifically states that the players status as far as playing in games once the season begins has NOT changed. Phil Taylor has been barred from living on campus, with be suspended for both summer semesters and has to attend anger management classes while being placed on probation within the University; if he gets in any trouble again he is gone.

What was Tressel's punishment for those players with chronic problems again? Condition yourselves by running while the team practices, that way you'll be in better shape for when the football season begins...how harsh!

How many drug tests does Eugene Clifford have to fail in order to reach the Pot of POT at the end of the rainbow? Spark a blunt and ponder that for a little while...
