Andre Carter to chat with fans online 

On Tuesday, October 31, Cal defensive end Andre Carter will drop by ESPN.com to chat with the fans beginning at 11:00 a.m. PT.  

A preseason All-American and a semifinalist for the Lombardi award, Carter has been a stalwart for the Bears as the defensive end has been on the field for all but two defensive plays this season for the 2-5 Bears.  

Carter leads the Bears with a total of seven sacks this season, despite constant double-teaming by opponents. That figure is tied for second place on the Pac-10 sack list heading into Saturday's clash with USC.
