Jake Bentley launches longest bomb of his career to set up USC game-tying touchdown

Jake Bentley has had a rough start to the 2018 season, with many fans criticizing his play for South Carolina football.

It didn’t help when several of his receivers dropped deep passes against Texas A&M.

But on Saturday against Tennessee, he silenced the critics with a gorgeous 73-yard bomb in the third quarter to junior receiver Bryan Edwards, who was tackled at UT’s two-yard line.

With USC trailing the Vols 24-16 and the third quarter winding down, Bentley dropped back with plenty of time and found Edwards with a perfect pass in coverage for the longest offensive play of the year for South Carolina.
