Jake Bentley killed South Carolina in passing downs against Kentucky

Jake Bentley drew a considerable amount of hype coming into the 2017 season for good reason — he helped pull South Carolina back from the dead and into a bowl in his freshman season.

As a sophomore Bentley had looked fine through his first two games, completing 61.4 percent of his passes at 7.1 yards a pass with four touchdowns and one interception. Bentley didn’t do anything to keep South Carolina from winning the NC State and Missouri’s games, but I don’t think you would necessarily say he won them either.

Through the first two games South Carolina had won from explosive plays by Deebo Samuel and some opportunistic turnovers forced by the defense.
