Anyone who has ever followed the game of football (or reported on it) will tell you the QB’s most important statistic is measured in wins and losses. Ultimately, QB’s and coaches are judged by that particular measuring stick over any other, whether or not that is fair.
Well, Carpenter is getting it done, even in that particular category. In ’02, the Broncos were 15-0 and won all the 5A, Kentucky-wide, hardware. That level of production, and efficiency, is difficult to criticize.
Carpenter is 6’4,” and tips the scales at 204-pounds. He is a drop-back guy principally with the mobility to stave off the rush until he can locate a downfield target. Perhaps the most important statistic for a guy EKU will want at the helm of its offense one day, Carpenter is sporting a 4.0 GPA on top of everything else.
