Gary Danielson has seen a lot of SEC football in his decade plus calling the league’s top game each week, so his opinions certainly carry weight.
And he’s high on South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley.
Danielson said he rated Bentley as the conference’s top passer when he went on the Paul Finebaum show. The former Purdue quarterback spent 11 seasons in the NFL.
