Spencer Rattler Racks Up Awards After Career Night

South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler produced multiple career highs against the Tennessee Volunteers, and numerous football-related organizations took note.

When South Carolina announced that quarterback Spencer Rattler was coming to Columbia last December, chaos ensued amongst the fanbase. They and everyone else in college football know that Rattler is a rare talent at the quarterback position. 

He's someone who can throw the football off platform with the best of them, has a quick release that can significantly negate a defense's pass rush, and has a spunk that every team should want in their starting quarterback.

Against the Tennessee Volunteers last weekend, Rattler reminded the football world that he's indeed that guy, setting new career highs with 438 passing yards and six passing touchdowns, all while completing eighty-one percent of his passes. 

In light of this performance, Spencer Rattler has gained regional and national praise, starting on Sunday with Walter Camp's National FBS Offensive Player of the Week award.

Rattler wouldn't have to wait long to attain another honor, being named the SEC's Co-Offensive Player of the Week yesterday afternoon.

To put the cherry on top of a whirlwind of a stretch for Spencer Rattler, he was named the Maxwell Award's player of the week on Tuesday morning.

It was a vintage performance reminiscent of what Spencer Rattler has done for most of his football career. Gamecock fans and the team hope to see another one against their arch-rivals in the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon.
