"Paterno said his son and quarterbacks coach, Jay Paterno, wanted to play Clark more last season, "and I tied his hands. I blame myself for that."

I find that quote to be rather intriguing... Does it mean that Jay might be in agreement with a majority of the fan base? And saw that Morrelli just wasn't going to cut it, and that Joe simply stuck by his "Italian Stallion" despite his shoddy big game performances?

Or is it simply Joe spouting off to curry favor towards his much maligned son? I don't know but it is a suprising quote.
