Clemson players praise spunk of USC’s Jake Bentley despite his comment about Tigers

South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley told Fox Carolina in May that the Tigers “weren’t that much better than us or better than us at all” after Clemson defeated USC 56-7 last November.

Tigers defenders Kendall Joseph and Clelin Ferrell were asked about Bentley’s comments on Monday and took up for South Carolina’s sophomore quarterback.

“Well, he’s entitled to his own opinion. If I was on that team, I’d want my quarterback to say the same thing and have that confidence,” Joseph said.

Bentley was 7 for 17 passing for 41 yards with an interception in his first start against Clemson last year.
