Challenges for Vanderbilt
Former Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler has been a solid player for the Gamecocks. His numbers aren’t spectacular but he’s been steady game manager for Carolina. He has 1,637 yards passing while completing 144 of 225 passes for five touchdowns and nine interceptions. In Saturday’s loss to Missouri, Rattler connected on 20 of 30 passes for 171 yards and an interception. Again, his numbers are not great but he is a dangerous quarterback that needs to be respected. South Carolina also has the best special teams units in the FBS that can burn you in many ways.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
