Abdul Carter Anticipated To Play In Orange Bowl, To Be ‘Game-Time’ Decision
James Franklin said he anticipates Penn State football defensive end Abdul Carter to play in Thursday’s Orange Bowl in a Wednesday joint press conference, but added that Penn State’s defensive star would be a “game-time” decision.
Carter was injured against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl and didn’t play past the second quarter with what appeared to be a knock to his left shoulder. Carter, who finished the day without registering any stats, returned to the sideline in the second half without his helmet and a black brace or cast around his arm.
Franklin again integrated that Carter’s had a strong mentality approaching his recovery process, and gave a nod to Carter’s cryptic social media posts, where the defensive end has taken on the persona of Darth Vader.
Penn State faces Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday in Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. The winner will face either Texas or Ohio State in the national championship.
