South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp announced Tuesday that junior quarterback Jake Bentley is returning to the starting lineup after missing one game due to a knee sprain. Muschamp also explained his reasoning for going with Bentley over Michael Scarnecchia, who had 249 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in place of Bentley last week. Here’s everything Muschamp said about his quarterbacks during his Tuesday news conference:
Opening statement:
“Jake practiced today and I thought he looked good. If he is healthy for Saturday, he will be the starter. I told Jake and Mike that both of them need to be ready to go.
