Had things gone the way they were supposed to, Jay Urich and Jake Bentley would’ve come to college in the same football recruiting class.
Instead, when Urich arrived on South Carolina’s campus, Jake Bentley was already a mostly established starter, having skipped his senior season and thrived in his first year on campus after wresting control of the starting job.
For the past year, they’ve shared a quarterback room, Bentley facing the ups and downs of his second year, while Urich redshirted behind him and Michael Scarnecchia. They’ve learned from, first, Kurt Roper and, now, Dan Werner.
