Andrew Quarless Removed From Team

by PSUfooball13 on Aug 21, 2007 8:23 PM EDT

"According to a post published on the Scout.com website FightOnState.com, Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless and reserve defensive back Willie Harriott have been removed from the team.

Publication editor Mark Brennan broke the news late Saturday night that the duo's lockers were cleaned out stemming from their citations for underage drinking late last week.

Early Friday morning Quarless, Harriott and a female friend were cited for underage drinking in Building 12 of the Nittany Apartments by University Police. The team had been given Thursday off from practice to prepare for summer semester finals.

According to Brennan's site, a source told the him that it's thought both players have been removed for good by head coach Joe Paterno in an attempt to show his team he will not tolerate any more off-field incidents .

Penn State has refused comment on the situation and it's likely Paterno will not comment publically until he meets with the media for his first weekly press conference on Tuesday, August 28 at Beaver Stadium."

Take a step back from the ledge

Paterno had a meeting over the weekend with Quarless, Harriott, their parents and the team captains. They all agreed to allow the team to vote on their fate. Not surprisingly the team voted to allow them back on the team. They are back at practice, but I'm sure they will have some form of punishment involving missed playing time.

Back to School: AQ V.2

the word from some sources at our favorite university is that both Quarless and Harriott attended practice today and are back with the team. HUZZAH! Although I suspect Quarless will have to play with the scout team for a while, as well as sit out the FIU game as punishment.

Maybe

I'm not convinced they will sit out an entire game. Historically Paterno has treated things like this by just knocking them down in the depth chart and making them sit our a quarter or two of a few games.
