Dabo Swinney and Shane Beamer see a lot of similarities between DJ Uiagalelei and Spencer Rattler, the two quarterbacks who will take center stage in Saturday’s rivalry game between the Tigers and Gamecocks.
Rattler is 208-for-311 this season (66.9 percent) for 2406 yards with 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Uiagalelei is 219-for-336 (65.2) for the same amount of yards – 2406 – with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Both are former 5-stars who have their share of struggles, with Rattler enduring losing his job to Caleb Williams at Oklahoma last season and then transferring to South Carolina.
