“BOOM” Carter

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Boo needs to be on the field as much as the coaches can get him out there. I think our secondary has more athletic ability than we have had in Heupel’s tenure

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Is Boo ok? Thought I saw him possibly injured at one point.

 

[OldVolMan]

I would love to see Boo take Squirrel place just for one game.

Since when is Thomas 23? It was boo

#9 hit him. Boo was trailing him. Looks like Boo in the one angle, but was clearly Thomas who knocked his teeth out

It wasn’t. Boo was in the area but Thomas hit him.

#9 was the safety on that play. Watch the replay. Besides, Carter is playing slot rather than a true safety.

They took his helmet and he went to locker room

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Looked like Pili stayed long enough with him after that hit to have a cordial conversation also.

He pulled the kindergarten cop reference- “Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”

And here’s the other angle…

 

[Ghost of Archvol]

Clearly number 23 boo Carter. Thomas does lay the wood tho and I love it

It was Thomas clearly. You have to watch the game replay and the main angle

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

He is a high effort player. Glad we kept him from getting sucked into that mess in Boulder. He still has a way to go in development and learning, but the ferocity is there.

 

[adam.vol]

Right. Announcers credited Boo, but it was Thomas.

They think Boo is Cam.

 

[rocytop2624]

Well I guess it was both of them

No Boo was collateral damage. But Boo is still good. True freshman. He was playing high school last year. Crazy. Bradley central. My son played against him.

 

[Volrocketman]

I was at the game and haven’t seen any replays, but Boo hit someone pretty hard I believe on a punt return and came off the field favoring his left arm. Probably a stinger. I never saw him much after that although my boys said he came back in a few times. Christian Harrison played most of the rest of the game, and I thought he did fairly well.

 

[bicenTENNial]

I concede I suppose it was Thomas. But boo was there too dammit!

Sooooo... Boom Thomas???

 

[Midas]

The hit was Jacobe Thomas, he should be starting safety, he is better than Turrentine

They play on the field together. Brooks and Thomas swap out with each other. Turrentine and Jakobe were on the field together when Jakobe laid that dude out,

 

[GoVols1961]

Eric Berry would approve that hit.

It was Thomas. Boo was there but Thomas lowered the boom. You might need to check it out from a different angle in slo mo.

It was beautiful to see Thomas track the RB from one side of the field to the other and lay him out, full speed. All gas, no brakes.

Oh, exactly. Great description.

Star is still much closer to the line.

 

[patrick]

I’m not one to try and brand players with nicknames but last night my son looked at me after one of Carters many hard hits and said “Maybe we need to start calling him BOOM Carter”.

Not sure how original but man I like it!

Boo doesn’t need a nickname.

Boooooooooooo is great as it is when he makes a play.

 

[wmcovol]

Early, everyone questioned Thomas cause he came from MTSU but staff watched him in their big games last year & realized he could play. MTSU has a very good “safety legacy” for NFL players.

 

[FirstAndGoal]

It was 9 not 23 that made the hit on the sideline

It was BOTH of them. Mega boom!!
