Senior Michael Scarnecchia is expected to start at quarterback for South Carolina when the Gamecocks take on Missouri on Saturday, a source with knowledge of the situation told The State.
Scarnecchia has received most of the first-team practice snaps this week while starting quarterback Jake Bentley rests a knee sprain suffered in a 24-10 loss to Kentucky last week, a separate source close to the program told The State.
The Gamecocks (2-2 overall, 1-2 SEC) will continue to monitor Bentley’s situation through Saturday morning and have not made a final decision on which quarterback will get the nod in the noon game against the Tigers (3-1, 0-1) in Williams-Brice Stadium.
