Last week, South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley completed one of the most successful passing seasons in Gamecocks history.
Bentley’s 2,876 yards were the sixth-most in school history. His 21 touchdowns rank fourth in school history, and his 63.2 completion percentage ranks eighth in school history.
Of course, nothing about Bentley’s collegiate career has been done the traditional way so he stretched his first full collegiate year over two seasons. The Gamecocks sophomore quarterback, who skipped his senior season of high school football to enroll at USC, took over the starting job at this point during his freshman season, taking the reins after the sixth game of the year and starting the final seven games of the season.
