Bobby Bentley is expecting an improved running game out of the South Carolina football team in 2017.
In turn, the Gamecock running backs coach believes that will produce a more complete offense than what USC had in coach Will Muschamp’s first season.
Speaking to a crowd of more than 50 people at the Anderson Gamecock Club event Tuesday night, Bentley said the reason his ball carriers didn’t get much publicity in preseason college football magazines is because the Gamecocks averaged 3.7 yards per carry last year.
With 10 returning starters, a talented addition to the backfield and a new blocking scheme, Bentley thinks that number will go up.
