Tuesday,pecember 4, 2001 THE BATTALION Page 3B Starting role fits Carter IRVINS, T exas (AP) — Quincy Crter did a lot of watch ing and litening before getting his first IiFL victory. And that made lending down on the final play monenjoyable for the Dal las rookii]uar ter back. “It waia great feeling simply because A of the hardship I had coming ji,” said Carter Mon day, a dy after the Cowboys won 20-m- at Washington. “Peojje thought I shouldn’t have ben drafted where I was drafted,’darter said. “Then I got hurt anqhad to sit and listen to everyboiy say I was a bad quar- terbacktnd might not make it.” Befoi Sunday’s game, Carter had bdn limited to just one quartei$ince the season opener becaus^of a thumb injury and a torn Ipj hamstring. In Its return Sunday after nearly !wo months on the side line, Grter’s numbers were not spectaular — 7-of-14 passing for 13' yards, with nearly half comiir on a 64-yard TD pass to Rafhib Ismail. But he did what fie Cowboys (3-8) asked, and tley snapped a four-game losinostreak. jincy did a nice job of within himself,” said jys coach Dave Campo. management, he han dled himself well. He was throw ing die ball effectively. It’s some thing to build on.” Carter’s TD pass to Ismail ex tended the Dallas lead to 17-7 with just more than six minutes, left. And diat came just minutes after a 13-yard pass to Joey Gal- I saw a calm quarterback, one that was very confi dent in what he could do. — Dave Campo Dallas Cowboys coach loway on second-and-12 from the Cowboys’ 21. “Quincy did the best at main taining his composure,” said Emmitt Smith, who ran 25 times for 102 yards and his first TD of the season. “I saw a calm quar terback, one that was very confi dent in what he could do.” The Cowboys, who have used four starting quarterbacks in a season for the first time, expect Carter to also start the final five games. “What I want Quincy to do the next five weeks is grow. That’s more important than anything,” Campo said. “When we made the decision to go with him with die pick we did, we felt he had all of the tools. It has to be performed.” The Cowboys took Carter widi their first pick last April, in the second round with the 53 rd pick overall. Carter was declared the starter midway through training camp when the Cow boys released Tony Banks, now Washington’s starter. Carter played the season opening 10-6 loss to Tampa Bay. He then injured his thumb in practice and missed two games before tearing his ham string in the first quarter at Oak land on Oct. 7. During his eight weeks away. Carter adjusted his grip on the bigger NFL football and during games intently watched other quarterbacks — the three who replaced him and those from the opposing teams. “I thought I learned a whole lot by sitting and watching,” Carter said. “I’m still a rookie. There’s still so much I’ve got to learn in diis game.” ee injury lands Jordan on bench WASHINGTON (AP) — More than eight year and two retirements later, Michael Jordan is fjially going to miss another NBA game beciise of an injury. jirdan had fluid drained from his right knee Moriay and will miss the Washington Wizards’ gan? at San Antonio on Tuesday, the start of a foutgame road trip. in MRI revealed no serious damage to the kne, so Jordan might return for Thursday’s game at Houston. “My body is sending me messages, and I need to listen,” Jordan said. “I hope to be ready to play on Thursday.” Jordan hyperextended his knee during a pre season game, and this was the second time he has had fluid drained from it. He has been bothered by soreness and swelling in the knee — on top of the Jordan on page 4B. Become involved with planning Bonfire 2002..
