Tricia Whitaker and Sydney Parrish sit down with Carter Smith, one of the foundational pieces behind Indiana football’s national championship run.

Carter shares what it was like going from the lowest points of IU football to the top of the sport, why he chose to return for another season, and how this team is approaching a potential back-to-back title run under Curt Cignetti.

He also reveals the moment he tore his labrum during the national championship game (and kept playing), breaks down the now-legendary Fernando Mendoza fourth-down touchdown, and explains the deeper meaning behind his powerful championship tattoo.

This is an inside look at leadership, toughness, and what it takes to sustain greatness at Indiana.
