On the ESPN First Take Big Man on Campus segment Pat Forde just gave a shout out to the Whiteout of Gameday.  Surprisingly he liked the idea considering it came from a Big 10 school.  Host Jay Crawford is also a fan of the idea saying "Leave it to the Penn State students to come up with an idea like that" or something along those lines. 

This plan could become legendary.  More evidence that we shouldnt abandon this idea as some have suggested.

We need a Quarterback in this class.

Report from fightonstate from scout.com

Multiple sources have told FightOnState.com that redshirt sophomore qurterback Pat Devlin has left the program and intends to trasnfer to another school.

As of this report the destination was unclear, though sources indicate he is looking to transfer to the Football Championship Subdivision (D1AA).

Devlin was in a heated battle for the starting quarterback job heading into the 2008 season. Redshirt junior Daryll Clark won the job and played with the first team the entire year. Clark returns in 2009, but with Devlin transferring and senior Paul Cianciolo graduating, at this moment Clark is now the only scholarship quarterback on the roster with eligibility in 2009.

Devlin saw action in 10 contests this season going 25 for 47 (53%) with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He was also stepped in for an injured Clark against Ohio State and was instrumental in orchestrating the game-winning drive for PSU.

We'll have more on this story as news becomes available. We expect Joe Paterno to comment on this situation at Bowl Media Day on Friday.
