Jake Bentley makes statement for the history books. Did it help big-game reputation?

South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley put his name in a big spot in South Carolina’s record book.

The junior signal caller couldn’t enjoy it in the moments after the 56-35 loss.

“Years and years from now, I’ll look back and be proud about it, but we lost,” Bentley said. “And that’s the main thing on my mind right now.”

First, he became the USC quarterback to throw for the most yards against Clemson. In the game’s waning moments, he finished off the most prolific passing game in the program’s history.

His 510 passing yards eclipsed Steve Taneyhill’s 473, a mark set in 1995 against Mississippi State.
