With a number of receivers using up their eligibility after the 2008 season, a few experts were not sure that Penn State would put up big numbers at the QB position in 2009.

Well….they were wrong….

Penn State QB Daryll Clark ended up having a big season….big enough to win the 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Big Ten Fantasy Player of the Year honor.

Clark (photo, thanks SportsIllustrated.com), a senior from Youngstown, OH (Ursuline HS), led the Nittany Lions with nearly 2800 yards passing, 23 passing TDs, and rushed for 7 additional TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).

Penn State finished the 2009 season at 10-2 and earned a trip to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando on New Years Day.
