Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter came ready to play against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl on Thursday night.
Despite dealing with an injury sustained in the Fiesta Bowl last week, Carter was on the field to help lead the Nittany Lions defense.
Carter sent a not-so-subtle message to his opposition via his eye black, writing "DARTH VADER" across this face for any player lined up against him to see.
