Jake Bentley was making one point this week and inadvertently made another.
Here’s what South Carolina’s sophomore quarterback said: “We talked all offseason that the games were going to be close. The margin of victory is so small, especially in this league so it’s the attention to detail, the little things.”
That is normally true in the Southeastern Conference, and it’s still true for most of the teams in the SEC. The problem for the conference is that it’s not true at the top. For the last several seasons, Alabama has created a parity problem for the league and this year Georgia is joining in on the self-destructive show.
