Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler went from preseason Heisman Trophy betting favorite to benched by Week 6.
Rattler, entering his second season as OU’s starter, was getting No. 1 NFL pick hype when the season began. He has not lived up to the hype, however, and was finally pulled in favor of prized freshman Caleb Williams on Saturday against Texas.
And what did Williams do? He only led a comeback for the ages as the Sooners fought back from a three-score halftime deficit to win 55-48 on a last-second touchdown.
Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley was noncommittal after the game, but it’d be a shock if he went back to Rattler.
