The SEC named two offensive players of the week this week and neither one was South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley. That was perplexing to Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp.
“I do think it’s important when a young man does some special things to get recognized for it,” Muschamp said Tuesday. “He’s the first quarterback in Southeastern Conference history to have that many yards against a top five team, and he had five touchdowns. In the history of the league. Never been done before. That’s pretty impressive, in my opinion.”
Bentley had a career-high 510 yards and five touchdowns Saturday in a 56-35 loss to No.
