ABDUL CAARTER vs. RUTGER
See link. Easy topic choice this week. Coach touches upon it a bit in the video, but aside from the closing speed and rushing unblocked in the A gap on blitzes and all the WOW highlight stuff, Carter's maturity really stands out on tape. He stays true to his assignment, doesn't color outside the lines too much, doesn't try to be a hero. For a young guy, that's refreshing to see and a compliment to how he's been coached and how he takes to instruction. Obviously, the LBs looked like deer in headlights vs. Michigan, but other than those 4 quarters of unpleasantness, not enough gets talked about re: Diaz's influence as LB coach...because, as a whole, this unit is the weakest link talentwise on the entire team but it feels like they've exceeded expectations and might have a future All-American blossoming in front of our eyes.
