Abdul Carter aims to showcase talent as Penn State faces SMU in College Football Playoff

Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter believes he is the best player in college football. He is motivated after being a finalist for three major awards but not winning any. Carter has 19.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks this season. Carter's performance has helped Penn State reach the College Football Playoff, where they will face SMU. His transition from linebacker to defensive end has boosted his NFL draft prospects, with many considering him a top-10 pick. SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee and Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Allen both recognize Carter's impact on the game. They expect him to play a crucial role in the upcoming matchup.
