His next scoring aerial came with 11:36 to play in the second period and the target was Phil It was good for 18 yards.

Later in the second period, he hit Casey Boyett for an 11-yard touchdown and then pitched to Perry Rodngue with a six-yard scoring strike with 6:51 to play in the third period. Ben Laverty booted three extra points out of four-tries to give the Cats a 27-0 lead before Coach Tony Knap's woe-begotten Aggies could get on the scoreboard.

Not Only Star But as great as Carter's passing wizardry, was, the former Sacramento, prep star was not the whole show, even though he was voted the top offensive player of the game.
