South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley spent a lot of his time this offseason working on his pocket movement. Now the Gamecocks sophomore starter wants to stop doing it so much.
Bentley is completing 60.6 percent of his passes this season, which is the sixth-best rate in the SEC, but he has missed some throws, and head coach Will Muschamp said this week that mechanics were the issue on most of those misses.
“Just cleaning some things up mechanically,” Muschamp said.
Specifically, Bentley is “trying to quiet my feet down a little bit,” the quarterback said.
Muschamp said this week that his quarterback had been “overstriding” at times.
