With a playoff bid on the line, a young program battling some adversity needed every play it could make. Castleton State was without its star quarterback and needed an offensive spark. Tyler Carpenter did his best to provide it. It's the Play of the Week.
The Play of the Week is sponsored by the City of Salem, hosts of Stagg Bowl XL. Tickets on sale now.
We solicit video of top plays from every Division III football program and this was our top clip.
