  Rattler, a true freshman in his first Big 12 start, isn't the sole reason for OU's defeat. OU coach Lincoln Riley said the Sooners failed to execute in all three phrases - offense, defense and special teams. How Rattler grows from this will be pivotal to OU's success, though, the rest of the season. When asked during his Tuesday news conference, Riley did not divulge any of his conversations with his young quarterback following the loss. This is just what happens as a quarterback goes through their development, according to Riley.

"Eighty-five, 90 percent of what he did was either really good or fabulous on Saturday. But a couple of mistakes really cost us, cost our offense, cost our team," Riley said. "He's gotta learn from those, learn from the entire situation. It's a tremendous opportunity for him to grow and gain some experience and make him more ready as we continue to go on down the year." The majority that was good led to Rattler completing 30 of 41 passing attempts. He threw four touchdowns and posted 387 yards passing against the Wildcats. Rattler still has plenty to polish within his game, which Riley anticipates happening. "I'm really excited about a lot of the things he's doing," Riley said. "I know the things he has to get better at will get cleaned up." - Norman Transcript

  Oklahoma, which fell from third to 16th in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll after losing to Kansas State last weekend, has been defined recently by its string of exceptional quarterbacks. From Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray to Jalen Hurts last season, it's been an embarrassment of riches for coach Lincoln Riley and the Sooners. It looks as though that tradition is set to continue, though maybe not quite as smoothly as the past three seasons. Redshirt freshman Spencer Rattler has thrown for 677 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 75.6 percent of his passes, but he threw three interceptions in the Sooners' shocking loss to the Wildcats. "Elite arm strength," Campbell said of Rattler. "When you watch him play, the thing that is so impressive, like so many of their guys, is the way the ball really jumps off of his arm, and his ability to make all those throws that we've seen up close and personal for the last five years, and it's been really impressive. "You can see even over the course of two games the steps that they're making. I think it's a really dangerous, potent offense and Spencer is a really talented football player." - Des Moines Register

  South Carolina starting linebacker Sherrod Greene will miss at least the next four to six weeks with a fractured hip, Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday. Greene, a 6-foot-1, 230-pound senior who had started 23 of the past 26 games for South Carolina, was injured in the Gamecocks' 31-27 loss to No. 21 Tennessee Saturday night. Muschamp said Tuesday that Greene's injury was "unusual" and that Greene will not need surgery. Greene will get rechecked in about a month or so. "Hopefully, he'll be back within that time," the coach said. "But it's a very unusual injury." - AP College Football

  09/29/20 - Collin Hill, rSr/2021, South Carolina, 6-4, 213 (DS#23 QB) + More +

  The new-look offense under new offensive coordinator Mike Bobo righted itself after a magnificent start and a severe dip. USC marched 75 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown on its first drive, then had 50 yards the rest of the half. "We kind of just came out and punched them in the mouth and had a great opportunity after the whole punt-bobble thing," new quarterback Collin Hill said. "And didn't capitalize on that, and kind of just stalled out the rest of the half." Hill was 25-39 for 290 yards and a touchdown, but also had a tipped ball intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Flinging passes to favorite target Shi Smith (10 times for 140 yards), Hill regrouped in the second half and the offense finished with 379 yards. - Rock Hill Herald

  It's not clear what Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler thought of his performance Saturday against Kansas State, a 38-35 Wildcat victory. It's not clear because only two Sooners were made available to the media - center Creed Humphrey and safety Pat Fields - when it was over. Mostly, that left it to Sooner coach Lincoln Riley to explain Rattler's day. "He was really good in the first half and then we just couldn't keep him quite comfortable enough in the pocket," Riley said. "I didn't think he was very comfortable there the entire day." What's unclear is if that makes Rattler's day quite impressive given his discomfort or less impressive because he failed to get comfortable.

Rattler completed 30 of 41 attempts, throwing four touchdown passes for the second straight game, finishing with 387 yards through the air, which made him just the third Sooner quarterback, along with Joseh Heupel and Sam Bradford, to throw for eight scores in his first two starts. He also threw his first three interceptions of the season, though they're not as indicting as they might appear. The first was batted at the line of scrimmage, making for an easy pick from Elijah Sullivan and the last one came in the final minute, the Sooners needing to go 76 yards in 49 seconds. The second, though, was entirely on him, picked by Justin Gardner early in the second quarter. "He just threw the ball up," Riley said. "That was frustrating." - Norman Transcript

  Oklahoma's 21-point lead against Kansas State was the biggest the Sooners had ever blown in a loss, according to OU research. The then-No. 3 Sooners, who lost 38-35, led 35-14 with 2:46 left in the third quarter before the Wildcats rallied for their biggest come-from-behind win since they beat Iowa State in 2015. Before Saturday, the Sooners had never squandered a lead greater than 17 points in a loss. That happened three times: 1999 against Texas in Dallas, 2007 at Colorado and in the 2017 season against Georgia in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl. - AP College Football

  Dakereon Joyner has been a quarterback his entire life, and a very good one. So it's extremely strange to arrive for practice at South Carolina every day and catch passes instead of throwing them. Ask him and he'd probably say if there was a chance for him to start at quarterback, he'd jump. Yet as he transitions to receiver, a move that started over a year ago but has twice been interrupted by lengthy delays, he's at peace. He's comfortable in his new role at receiver, and comfortable that he's not looking over his shoulder, wondering if he'll again be asked to come back to QB. He wouldn't mind doing it if the Gamecocks' quarterback room was waylaid by some malady (and during these troubled times, that's a distinct possibility), but he's also eager to show what he can do at receiver. "I think it's a big confidence thing for me. I think it has helped me tremendously," Joyner said. "Just got to continue to improve, do what I do best and help the team win." The speed, athleticism and savvy that earned him the state's 2017 "Mr. Football" Award has been a constant in Joyner's career and was a benefit to him last year as he battled Ryan Hilinski for the backup QB job. The staff liked what he could do but Hilinski represented more of what they needed at the spot, so they gently told Joyner that Hilinski would back up starter Jake Bentley. - The Post and Courier

  OU quarterback Spencer Rattler's first touchdown of the night might have been worth - at least some of - the price of Saturday's pay-per-view broadcast. Rattler led OU on a quick touchdown drive but running back Seth McGowan scored from the 1-yard line to finish the team's first series against Missouri State. Rattler followed up OU's opening drive with a dime to true freshman Marvin Mims on the first play of its second series. Mims, a speedy receiver from Frisco, Texas, caught the pass in stride to get his first career touchdown reception on a 58-yard pass. Rattler went on to complete 14-of-17 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns. His quarterback rating? 303.3. - Norman Transcript

  Big 12 teams posted the top three passing totals of the weekend in the Football Bowl Subdivision, highlighted by Spencer Rattler's sensational debut and Sam Ehlinger's career night. Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech were the only FBS teams with over 400 yards through the air. They combined for 1,395, completing 97 of 129 attempts (75%) with 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions. OU's Rattler hit on 14 of 17 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns in just two quarters against FCS Missouri State. Top backup Tanner Mordecai also was 14 for 17, and the Sooners finished 30 of 36 for 484 yards with five TDs and an interception in the 48-0 win. - AP College Football

  SEPT 12 WEEK 2 STARS: Spencer Rattler, Oklahoma, threw for 290 yards and four TDs in his first start and the No. 5 Sooners rolled past Missouri State 48-0. - AP College Football

  Spencer Rattler passed for 290 yards and four touchdowns in his first start and No. 5 Oklahoma rolled past Missouri State 48-0 on Saturday night. Rattler, the highly touted redshirt freshman from Phoenix, only played the first two quarters and helped the Sooners take a 41-0 lead. Rattler nearly didn't the chance to make his long-awaited splash. According to a report in the Springfield News-Leader, Missouri State president Clif Smart told the school's board of governors that the game had been in jeopardy because of Oklahoma's positive COVID-19 cases. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley confirmed it after the game. "It hung in the balance for a little bit, but we were able to do it," he said. "Thankfully we were able to."

Rattler took advantage of the opportunity and looked like a seasoned veteran. He completed 14 of 17 passes and had a 303.3 passer efficiency rating - the third-best single-game mark in school history. "I feel like I've earned a lot of trust from my guys on the team," he said. "Being the quarterback, you have to have that assertive leadership and bring certain qualities to you, and I feel like I'm still working on that, but doing a pretty good job with it." Rattler left an impression on Missouri State coach Bobby Petrino, who coached Heisman winner Lamar Jackson at Louisville in 2016. "I think his presence in the pocket, being able to find the open receiver - he's got a great quick release and can make all the different throws," Petrino said. The Sooners led 31-0 at the end of the first quarter and outgained the Bears 236 yards to 1. It was the first time since 2008 that Oklahoma scored at least 31 points in a first quarter and the sixth time in school history. - Oklahoma/AP College Football
