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.

“Jerry: She’s one of those third-year girls that gripe my liver.
Milo: Third-year girls?
Jerry: Yeah, you know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture. They give me a swift pain.
Milo: Why?
Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
