Spencer Rattler is supposed to be the next big thing at QB for Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma. But unlike the three that preceded the former five star recruit at the position, he didn’t come in a ready to bake package, and development, it turns out, takes time.
Rattler has shown flashes of greatness in his redshirt freshman season; after being benched in the second quarter of the Red River Rivalry his last time out, the young gunslinger bounced back to lead his team to a quadruple-OT victory over their hated rival. Rattler threw for just 209 yards but found the end zone three times (and once more on the ground), as Riley finally found something in the running game finally thanks to TJ Pledger and his 131 yards and two scores.
