Clark on Davey O'Brien Watch List

Daryll Clark has been Jay Paterno's pet project since the Youngstown, Ohio native stepped foot onto the University Park campus.

The younger Paterno even lobbied his father, and boss, for Clark to receive more snaps under center as a sophomore during Anthony Morelli's disappointing senior season (at least in perception value, in truth -- as told in the book -- some of Morelli's stats were among the best in PSU history).

After an electrifying junior season, Clark has served the notice of not just his quarterbacks coach, but also the nation.

Clark is on the Watch List for the 2009 Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. Who were the last Penn State quarterbacks to take home the award?

Sounds like an entry in Penn State Football: An Interactive Guide To The World of Sports.

Answer: Two, Todd Blackledge (1982) and Kerry Collins (1994).
