He’s one of the great defensive players to come through the sport in the past handful of years. He is also a medical question mark for this game, having left the Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal against Boise State with an arm injury. Franklin said Carter will make every effort to get back. How operational he’ll be is unknowable.
Carter has been durable during his three-year career and become a full-time edge rusher after experimenting as a linebacker in past years. There’s no great way to tell what the Nittany Lions defense would look like if Carter didn’t play or played as a reduced version of himself. Expanded attention would fall on fellow edge player Dani Dennis-Sutton, who’s next on the team with 30 pressures (and a 20.8% pressure rate) and 9.0 adjusted sacks.
