Saints' Spencer Rattler Reacts to South Carolina's Dominant Start vs. Oklahoma

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler chimed in Saturday regarding a one-sided college football game between his two alma maters.

Rattler took to X in order to show his support for South Carolina amid the Gamecocks taking a 21-0 first quarter lead over Oklahoma:

After spending his first three collegiate seasons with the Sooners, Rattler transferred to South Carolina and played his final two campaigns with the Gamecocks.

South Carolina scored a pair of defensive touchdowns en route to taking a 21-0 lead over Oklahoma in an SEC road game.

The Sooners took it on the chin in a 34-3 Red River Rivalry loss to Texas last week, and while there was hope for a bounce back this week against the 3-3 Gamecocks, Oklahoma came out of the gates flat.

When Rattler arrived at Oklahoma in 2019, he was a 5-star recruit and the No. 9 overall prospect and No. 1 quarterback in the nation, per 247Sports.

After throwing form 3,031 yards, 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions as a redshirt freshman in 2020, Rattler was widely expected to become a Heisman Trophy contender, but he lost his starting job to Caleb Williams in the middle of the following season.

Williams went on to enjoy his greatest success at USC, winning a Heisman Trophy and earning the distinction of being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, while Rattler revived his college career at South Carolina.

His first season in Columbia saw him throw for 3,026 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 picks, but he was much better as a senior, throwing for 3,186 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

That performance allowed Rattler to play his way into the NFL draft conversation, and ended up being a fifth-round pick by New Orleans.

With Saints veteran quarterback Derek Carr currently out of action with an oblique injury, Rattler has started each of the past two weeks.

Rattler went 22-of-40 for 243 yards with one touchdown and two picks in a 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6, and he followed that up by going 25-of-35 for 172 yards with no touchdowns or picks in a 33-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.

His next chance to start, provided Carr is not ready to return, will come on Oct. 27 when the Saints go on the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers.
