Football season is (finally) just around the corner, so I thought we’d take a break from opponent previews and change gears into some broad spectrum speculation.
Who is the most important player on offense for the Gamecocks?
At this point, I think we can go ahead and say that Jake Bentley is who he is: an above average to even good college quarterback, but not exactly a transcendent talent. (He’s a little bit the victim of his own success after having such a promising freshman campaign, but I digress.) The loss of human Swiss Army knife Deebo Samuel is a big blow for this offense, and so what I’d really like to see is the running backs unit take a step forward to remove some pressure from Bentley and the passing game.
