Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler looked pedestrian through the first half of the No. 4 Sooners’ home game vs. West Virginia on Saturday, including an early interception.
OU fans wasted no time in letting the projected first-round NFL Draft pick have it after that play. They booed and asked that Rattler be replaced by freshman backup Caleb Williams.
Oh my. The #Sooners crowd is loudly chanting, “WE WANT CALEB” after that Spencer Rattler interception.
