Spencer Rattler has high expectations on him as he heads to South Carolina for the 2022 season to take over as quarterback for the Gamecocks.

The Gamecocks were a surprising 7-6 in Year 1 of the Shane Beamer era in 2021, and now fans will be hoping to see improvement.

So, what will the offense look like? During a chat with 247Sports, Rattler compared the offense to that of the Los Angeles Rams, saying he’s been watching a lot of Matthew Stafford tape:

“Right now I like what (Los Angeles Rams quarterback) Matthew Stafford is doing. We’re watching a lot of his film because we run similar offenses, similar plays. It’s helped me to see what he does, how he goes through his reads against these coverages or these looks or at these game-time situations. I’m really watching him. Of course you’ve got Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, (Patrick) Mahomes. I’m just taking the film you see and try to implement it on the field. When I go back home to Arizona, I’ll be training different types of stuff with my quarterback coach as well.”
Will Rattler find success at South Carolina? After losing his job at Oklahoma to Caleb Williams, he’ll be eager to prove he’s still an elite quarterback.
