Taking a closer look at South Carolina’s 31-13 win against Missouri on Saturday.
Quarterbacks
This is the “good work, but you can do better” performance when a grader believes someone is capable of more. A total of 187 yards on 28 passes is OK, though starting 17-23 is pretty good. Jake Bentley ripped some key throws, but he also had two or three he’d like to have back, especially not being able to find Hayden Hurst open on an early wheel and scramble. It was a solid performance overall, but there’s a next step.
Grade: B-
Running backs
Rico Dowdle could’ve used a more efficiency, as eight of his 14 carries failed to gain four yards.
