In some circles, the expectations for South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley might have gotten too high for 2016.
“He may miss a throw or two here or there, and I know that shocks everybody, but that does happen every now and then,” head coach Will Muschamp said.
It has through South Carolina’s first two games. The Gamecocks sophomore starter has directed his team to a 2-0 record and has shown off his exponentially increased knowledge of the team’s playbook, but he’s missed some open receivers. Most notably, there was tight end Hayden Hurst down the right sideline early in the Missouri game, but there have been others.
