Saints head coach Kellen Moore announced that second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler will be the team’s starting quarterback for week one against the Arizona Cardinals. Rattler won a tight competition over rookie Tyler Shough. Moore says Rattler was more consistent during training camp and in preseason games.

Cut 13 (12)  “…for us.”

The 24-year-old Rattler started six games last year as a rookie and says its an amazing opportunity to be the week one starter.

Third-string quarterback Jake Haener did not make the 53-man roster and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire also failed to make the team.

State Representative Dixon McMakin will be the Voice of Tiger Stadium as he’s been named as the new public address announcer for LSU football games, replacing Dan Borne, who announced his retirement earlier this summer.
