South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler got all the pent-up negative feelings from Tennessee fans throughout Saturday night’s 41-20 road loss. Rattler, who derailed the hopes of a College Football Playoff berth last season for the Volunteers with a six-touchdown performance in a 63-38 upset, was the target of an end-of-game chant from fans.
“F--- you, Spencer” was the chant from Volunteers fans, according to Zac Al-Khateeb of USA Today’s Knox News.
And in the postgame presser after the loss which moved South Carolina to 2-3 on the season, Rattler was quick to fire back with his own response, calling this game Tennessee’s “Super Bowl,” per WLTX’s Chandler Mack.
"I must be doing something right if they keep saying that the whole night," Rattler said. " If you ain’t got haters, you ain’t popping. ... Credit to them, they did a great job. It was like their Super Bowl tonight, so congrats to them."
