Tight end Cethan Carter’s anticipated absence in Nebraska’s Big Ten Conference game Saturday at Indiana opens up a heartwarming story in the replacement of an extraordinary athlete who’s fully equipped to compete in the NFL.

Sam Cotton, Carter’s backup, is expected to be Nebraska’s starter Saturday. That means one of the Huskers’ most deeply rooted football families may merit some limelight in a game that features a top 10-rated team on either ABC or ESPN2, depending on specific markets.
