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 and/or career:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
