This season, South Carolina has frequently gotten off to slow starts and had to play from behind.
Although the Gamecocks would prefer for that not to happen, quarterback Jake Bentley said on Tuesday that the team doesn’t give up when in those tough situations.
“I think it’s just the resiliency that we have as a team,” Bentley told the media. “I think we really lean on each other when times get tough and it really just is a team effort. I think we need to start off better, and we may not always be in those situations, but it’s good for us. It’s good for us to be in those situations and know that we’re going to stick together and play. I think it’s just coming out swinging and do whatever it takes to win.”
