The Starting Quarterback
Michael Scarnecchia started in place of injured QB, Jake Bentley, in the Battle of the Columbias (South Carolina vs Missouri). It took a half for Scarnecchia to get settled, but came out after half time to lead the Gamecocks to 21 points in the third quarter in the the rain. He ended the day with 249 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air with no interceptions. Head Coach Will Muschamp stated that Bentley was able to play Saturday, but would have been limited. Bentley banged up his knee late in the Kentucky game.
