South Carolina’s football staff wanted to get Jake Bentley used to moving around the pocket with ease this offseason.
Perhaps he got a little too used to it.
Bentley guessed some of that work spilled over to the set of footwork issues that have led to some off-target throws this season. He tried to work on that during South Carolina’s bye week, cleaning it up.
“One of the big things we did was pocket movement,” Bentley said of the off season. “Quick feet. And I think we kind of did it too much, so kind of slow back down and get more comfortable with my feet, keep them to the ground more, not over-striding, just keeping them right underneath me with a good base, just delivering the ball.
