MADISON, Wis. - Penn State freshman tight end Andrew Quarless plowed into venerable Penn State coach Joe Paterno after catching a sideline pass in the third quarter of Penn State's loss to Wisconsin this afternoon. Paterno had to be carted off the field with an injury to his left leg.
A Pennsylvania State Police spokeswoman said that upon his return to Pennsylvania, Quarless will be charged with abuse of corpse under 55 Pa.C.S. § 5510. ". . . [A] person who treats a corpse in a way that he knows would outrage ordinary family sensibilities commits a misdemeanor of the second degree."
