Will Muschamp says South Carolina will move forward with Jake Bentley and Brandon McIlwain at quarterback
In South Carolina coach Will Muschamp’s Sunday teleconference, the first-year coach discussed a number of topics.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the teleconference was Muschamp saying that the Gamecocks will move forward with freshmen QBs Jake Bentley and Brandon McIlwain splitting time.
Here’s what Muschamp had to say following a 34-28 victory over UMass on Saturday afternoon:
