If Penn State advances past Boise State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, the Nittany Lions may have to do so without their best defensive player.
In the second quarter of the Fiesta Bowl, star Penn State defensive end Adbul Carter went down with an apparent upper-body injury following an incompletion on third down. Carter would exit the game at that moment with the Nittany Lions then-up 14-0.
He returned briefly in the first half but then left the game again.
