South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley talked a lot about Vanderbilt’s pass defense and seemed to like what he saw.
Commodores coach Derek “Mason is one of the great defensive minds in the game of football,” Bentley said. “They are an aggressive bunch. They will bring pressure. They are not scared to play man coverage. They really believe in their corners and safeties, and they are great players.”
Vanderbilt is tied for fourth in the SEC and 11th in nation in pass defense, allowing 170.4 yards per game, but the Commodores pass defense is not going to be the story Saturday when South Carolina (5-2 overall, 3-2 SEC) takes on Vanderbilt (3-4, 0-4) at 4 p.
