Jake Bentley knows what he wants in a backup quarterback – the same thing he had last year.
“If you look back on it and think about (Michael Scarnecchia) and what he did,” Bentley said Monday. “He was one of the most consistent and hardest working guys on the team, and it obviously paid off for him in the Missouri game. He was a guy that came to practice every day with the right mindset to compete with me every single day.”
With Scarnecchia lost to graduation, South Carolina is auditioning redshirt freshmen Dakereon Joyner and Jay Urich and true freshman Ryan Hilinski for the backup job this spring.
