What Jake Bentley learned going through a rocky 2018 season

South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley wasn’t one to delve too deep into his own ups and downs.

He’s a college athlete who has been in the spotlight for awhile. His father is a coach. So as he looks at some of what he learned his second full year as a starter, he wraps them in the standard language of an athlete interview.

At times late in the 2018 season, he admitted his season was about navigating leadership, managing highs and lows that come with a season. He drilled into something fundamental but still technical, and perhaps it says something larger about his own journey.
