South Carolina beat Florida 28-20 on Saturday for its seventh win of the season. Here are five things we learned about the Gamecocks, four of which could have a big impact on the last two games of the regular season against Wofford and Clemson.
Jake Bentley has to take care of the ball: South Carolina’s sophomore starting quarterback had four interceptions in the first eight games of the season. He’s had five in the last two games, two against Georgia two weeks ago and three against the Gators on Saturday. Head coach Will Muschamp heartily endorsed his quarterback after the game but acknowledged that the Gamecocks “needed to dial it back a little bit” offensively during the game because Bentley was having trouble keeping the ball safe.
