naptownskinsfan Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Bentley, a three year starter for South Carolina, is heading to Utah as a graduate transfer. He should have the inside track at replacing senior starter Tyler Huntley. Quote He finished his South Carolina career 19-14 as the starter with 7,527 passing yards, 55 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. Freshman Ryan Hilinski took over as South Carolina's starter after Bentley's injury. After a 4-8 finish, South Carolina demoted offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon and fired quarterbacks coach Dan Werner. Bentley started the final seven games of his freshman season, going 4-3 with 1,420 yards and nine touchdowns and four interceptions. He became a captain for the first time as a sophomore in 2017 and held the designation throughout the rest of his career. Utah senior quarterback Tyler Huntley, a candidate for the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year award, threw for 2,966 yards with 18 touchdowns to just four interceptions this year. One of his backups, sophomore Jason Shelley, saw significant playing time in 2018 (98-of-168, 1,162 yards, 5 TDs, 6 INTs) after Huntley went down with an injury but attempted just 11 passes this year.

jrry32 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That's a great add by Utah. Bentley got Muschamp'd. I think he'd have been seen as a Day 2 pick if he had played for a better coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
