It’s really a shame what Mike Yurcich
did to our offense last year, it’s not a coincidence that multiple players are playing much better with him gone. And it seemed like there was a concerted effort against Illinois to absolutely destroy and run over them.

Carter is not playing defensive end in that game. He played as QB Spy, linebacker up close to line of scrimmage and defensive end. That’s why he was able to make so many splash plays and the rest of the D line helped as well
