What Spencer Rattler said after loss to Missouri

By Chris Clark

Following South Carolina football’s 34-12 loss at Missouri, Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler spoke with the media.

Here’s what he had to say in the postgame press conference.:

QUESTION: A lot of chances in the second half, but ended up having to get threes instead of going for touchdowns. What were the decision makings? What was making it so hard, especially on third down, to kind of keep them off of you?

RATTLER: I mean, you know, first half as a group wasn’t good enough and we know that. You know, credit to Missouri, they did an outstanding job scheming up against us. They’ve got great players. Coach Drink does a great job with what they’re doing on defense and, you know, credit to them. But we shot ourselves in the foot a lot our first half, just, weren’t converting on third down enough. I mean, it was tough with their blitz plan, but in the second half, like you said, we had a lot of chances, a lot of chances to finish down there in the red zone and we just couldn’t get it done and I’ve got to be better down there.

We all got to be better, but, you know, we’re going to get back to work and try to be better in those clutch moments when we need it. You know what I mean? So that’s my two cents on it.
