Penn State Nittany Lions defensive end Abdul Carter exploded for another dominant game against the Washington Huskies.
Carter, who converted from linebacker to defensive end this offseason, was the best player at Beaver Stadium, finishing with six tackles, four for losses, two sacks and a forced fumble. Through nine games Carter has a career-high eight sacks and leads the Big Ten, and ranks third nationally, with 15.5 tackles for loss. The Big Ten’s most dynamic pass-rusher said he continues to get better but still hasn’t hit his peak.
But Penn State linebacker Kobe King, who had one of the team’s five sacks Saturday, called Carter “a dominant force” in the defense. “He’s a disruptive football player,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “He was that way when he played linebacker. He’s disruptive when he plays defensive end. I still think there has been an evolution for him there, in terms of playing the run on a consistent basis, rushing the passer on a consistent basis, getting good at his get-off. He’s just getting better. To me, that’s the exciting thing. He’s got a lot of football ahead of him. He finds a ton of different ways to disrupt the game.
