After a dominant win against Arkansas, its time to grade the Gamecocks.
Quarterback
The start for Jake Bentley was highly ugly. The 5-for-15 was one thing, but there were a lot of missed balls to open enough receivers. The 62-yard pass to Hayden Hurst was a thing of beauty, as was the last drive of the second half, but there's more there.
Grade: C+
Running backs
Rico Dowdle was back and looking feisty. Ty'Son Williams and A.J. Turner were both solid, and Turner showed good fight converting a key third down on a reception.
