Dattitude (324): Can Spencer Rattler do it again at Lambeau? LSU, Tulane bowl talk
Dattitude (324): Can Spencer Rattler do it again at Lambeau? LSU, Tulane bowl talk

Spencer Rattler seized his opportunity for the Saints in the second half against the Washington Commanders. Replicating that performance at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night will be much tougher. Can he do it? Jim Derry talks about that in his monologue and with FOX-8's Garland Gillen on Dattitude (Ep. 324) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also talk about LSU-Baylor in the Texas Bowl and Tulane-Florida in the Gasparilla. And, of course, we'll have 'Wednesdays with Gabe Henderson.' The show is LIVE beginning at 11 a.m. CT and available later on demand.
