Quincy Carter may have been 21 years old, but he was making just his fourth start as a Georgia football player. Carter previously played baseball but he came to Georgia in 1998 and took over as quarterback. October 4, 1998 presented Carter with his first big test. That day, Georgia traveled to Baton Rouge to play the no. 6 Louisiana State Tigers.
And boy, did Carter pass that test. He went 27-of-34 with 318 yards and two touchdowns. That performance is a big reason why the Bulldogs won 28-27. Carter also caught a pass for 36 yards and ran for 41 yards.
