But after some struggles during his second season with the Oklahoma Sooners, Rattler was benched

In two games against the Georgia State Panthers and the Arkansas Razorbacks, Rattler has thrown more interceptions (three) than he has touchdowns (two).

on Saturday afternoon as the former five-star quarterback threw what might have been his most brutal interception yet this season against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs.

With the Gamecocks driving deep in Georgia territory early in the first quarter, Rattler threw a pass down the left side of the field, but his receiver never had a chance. The ball was terribly overthrown and Georgia freshman defensive back Malaki Starks intercepted it easily.
