Marcus Lattimore isn’t allowed to provide on-field coaching to South Carolina’s football players, but there’s nothing to stop him from passing along some of his knowledge in other settings.
That’s what Gamecocks running backs coach Bobby Bentley has asked Lattimore to do about something very specific this season. There are certainly worse people to ask for advice in the area. Lattimore is the school’s sixth-leading rusher of all-time, gaining 2,677 yards and scoring a school-record 38 rushing touchdowns from 2010-2012.
Bentley coached at Byrnes High School, where Lattimore starred before coming to South Carolina, from 1995 through 2006 (and then again for a later stint).
