Does Will Mushchamp finally have a quarterback? Maybe.

Freshman Jake Bentley has been impressive in his first two starts for South Carolina, especially against a team as talented as Tennessee. Hats off to the entire Gamecocks team, they played a heck of a game and garnered a win that they absolutely needed, but weren’t expected to get. While Tennessee has underachieved, they were not expected to lost to South Carolina. This win will go a long way in giving South Carolina a shot at getting to a bowl game this season.

Next game: November 5, vs Missouri, 4:00pm ET SEC Network
