<Penn State football had to deal with early season controversy this week when cops busted a party with pot involved.. The apartment was the residence of defensive linemen Maurice Evans and Abe Karoma, defensive back A.J. Wallace, and tight end Andrew Quarless.. Joe Paterno commented Thursday on the issue: "We're not going to play Evans and we're not going to play…Wallace will play, Wallace was really not part of that situation. Evans and Quarless and Koroma were and it's unfortunate but hey, we preach, preach, preach and they stepped out of line. They deserve what they're going to get. Whatever that's going to be I don't know. And it's disappointing because they're all three good football players, they're not bad kids. But they do dumb things and you pay for it when you do dumb things. It's something they'll be living with because the NFL is cracking down and everybody with drugs and I feel sorry for them. I wish I could do something besides saying 'hey, you're going to sit out this week until I get all the information,' because I don't have it all.
