Daily News | Penn State freshman Abdul Carter commands attention at the Rose Bowl as a star linebacker
PASADENA, Calif. — There was a trend to the questioning at Rose Bowl media availability on Friday morning.Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig had the first opportunity to answer.“I know No. 11, the linebacker, is a premier player in the country,” Ludwig said, “and he wreaks havoc in everything he does.”“He’s always going to be a guy that kind of has the red lights around him,” Rising said.“I’ve got great respect for the way he plays,” Ludwig said.
“I expected success, but probably not this quickly,” Carter said. “It’s all a change for me. I’m just soaking it all in.” While Penn State head coach James Franklin saw Carter’s potential and allowed Carter to take No. 11, he couldn’t be sure of what he had until the season started. “They move him around so much, so you have to have awareness of where he is,” Ludwig said, “but it’s not like the game plan is to run away from this guy or run at this guy because he’s so multiple in the way that [Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz] utilizes his skill set.”
