Freshman V’Lique Carter Stars in Pitt Debut

In Pitt’s 54-45 win over Duke on Saturday, the surprise of the contest was a breakout performance by true freshman V’Lique Carter.

Carter was a defensive back but also cited as both a running back and wide receiver after yesterday’s game. No one really knows what to make of his position and that probably even includes the coaches to a degree. Whatever the case, you can expect to see more of him, as Pat Narduzzi mentioned afterwards.

“He’s fast,” Narduzzi said. “Obviously he’ll get a few more carries next week.”

How fast? Fast enough to pick up 137 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, giving him a 19.
