Alleluia: There Will Be Life After Daryll Clark at Penn State

Alleluia—there is life after Daryll Clark.

Kevin Newsome, considered one of the best of this year's bunch of quarterback prospects, has made a decision to become a Nittany Lion.

We're expecting him to redshirt his first year and, if he doesn't get into trouble, start in the 2010 season after Clark's departure.

What makes this all better is that Newsome—who plays a handsome piano, by the way—decommitted from Michigan, which had a double whammy of a crappy day after their defensive coordinator Scott Shafer humbly stepped down.

But back to Newsome.



His first game—if all things go to plan and Clark stays injury-free in 2009—will be in Tuscaloosa against Alabama in 2010. Nice way to start your college career, Kevin.

Needless to say, Nittany Lion nation should be pretty darned happy, especially after the signing of bigtime defensive back Gerald Hodges.
