While Dexter isn't proud of his impulsive reaction, it's probably what Seminole fans will most remember him for -- even though he had nearly 150 yards on the night. Seldom has Doak seen a louder, more intense crowd than that 1989 game (background here from Frank D. Nole). And when 5'9" Dexter embarrassed stud linebacker Bernard "Tiger" Clark (now LB coach for the Pitt Panthers), the place exploded.
Today Carter has moved on from coaching RBs at FSU and runs his own program of summer camps for young players from six to 17. And though he coaches kids in his camps to control their emotions, he doesn't mind telling the story of the night his got the best of him.
Great stuff. It was really nice listening to Dexter's take on the flag on head play. When that incident happened, it fired up every Nole at Doak and the stadium was rocking back and forth. Also, he was not kidding in his David and Goliath analogy.
Dexter will always be remembered as a true Nole who played much bigger than his size, both at FSU and during his very respectable NFL career.
Thanks for sharing.
