Loran was the QB when I was at Auburn. IMHO no Auburn QB ever had a better touch on the deep ball. He was the start of a lot great memories.

Sad day.

Loran Carter to Mike Currier for 3 TDs against UT in 1968 at Legion Field, yes his deep passes were smooth. Deepest regrets to his family.

Loran was QB when I was in school and a friend. Sad to hear this news as we had some good times together.

I seem to recall many passes to Freddie Hyatt.

Sad news. I remember watching him play when I was in high school. And yes, his deep passes were a sight to behold. My prayers and sympathies to his family and friends.
