Jake Bentley may not be able to play against Missouri because of an injury, but if he is, he will start for South Carolina with the complete faith and backing of his Gamecocks teammates.
That was the message from USC coach Will Muschamp and several players Tuesday as the team addressed Bentley’s status for the Missouri game and the type of season the junior quarterback has had through four games. The Gamecocks (2-2 overall, 1-2 SEC) take on the Tigers (3-1, 0-1) at noon Saturday in Williams-Brice Stadium. The game will be televised by the SEC Network.
Bentley is “probable” for the game after suffering a minor knee injury against Kentucky last week, Muschamp said.
