College Career
Struggling with his baseball career, Carter went to the University of Georgia in 1998, where he won the job of starting quarterback in a highly contested battle (over future Oklahoma starter, Nate Hybl, among others) and after a good freshman season was recognized as one of the top young quarterbacks in the nation. He had a decent sophomore season but was mediocre as a junior due to injuries and inconsistency. Carter was 23–8 as a starting quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs.
He was a dual threat quarterback as Carter demonstrated this in Georgia's 28–26 win over the Kentucky Wildcats on October 24, 1998. The 6-3, 225-pound freshman ran 14 times for 114 yards and completed 10-of-14 passes for 147 yards and two touchdown passes in the contest. Carter also had a 49 yard touchdown run in the game.

Famous quotes containing the words college career, college and/or career:
“In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
