The competition to be South Carolina’s second-string quarterback begins Wednesday as the Gamecocks start spring practice. The competition to be South Carolina’s starter has been decided.
“There is no question that right now (Jake Bentley) is the best quarterback on our roster,” head coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday.
Bentley has thrown for 7,385 yards and started 31 of the last 32 games for the Gamecocks. He is within reach of the school’s career passing record (9,953 yards by Todd Ellis) and could become just the ninth player in SEC history to throw for more than 10,000 yards in his career.
