What makes OU QB Spencer Rattler so dangerous? And how do the Huskers go about slowing him? | Football



“It’s hard not to see him even when we are not preparing for him,” NU senior defensive lineman Ben Stille. “He’s one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. What little we have seen, (he’s) really poised in the pocket. Good runner as well. It will be a challenge for us.”

Rattler did throw two picks against Tulane two weeks ago, and five of his seven in 2020 game in OU’s first three Big 12 games.

Oklahoma’s top running backs are Tennessee transfer Eric Gray and veteran Kennedy Brooks, a junior who did not play in 2020. Outside, the receivers are led by Marvin Mims, former five-star recruits Jadon Haselwood and Mario Williams, and Arkansas transfer Mike Woods.



Steven M. Sipple and Parker Gabriel discuss the four most interesting things they heard from a Nebraska football media session Tuesday at Memorial Stadium.



Rattler and the relatively new receiving group are still working to get aligned, but they can already do a lot of different things and they have a creative play-caller pulling the strings.

“Everyone on the team, really, has to have really good eye discipline,” Chinander said. “That starts pre-snap, alignment, assignment, getting my eyes where they need to be and then trusting that my key is going to take me to the football. Sometimes when there’s a lot of moving going on, you kind of go rodeo and go ‘see ball, hit ball.’ You can’t do that with these guys.

“You’ve got to trust your keys, you’ve got to have great eye discipline, you’ve got to know your issue within every call and you’ve got to play the defense.”
