Jake Bentley out at least 6 weeks with broken foot.
- Thread starter TideFan in AU
- Start date
Number 4 pro-style QB coming in, so he is good. Is he ready for the SEC???? Who knows???
I hate to see anyone get injured from any team. Hope he heals quickly.
I read the South Carolina message boards for a few minutes just to get a feel for the backup QB. Their posters seem to think Hilinski will be better, though not immediately, than Bentley.
I am sure Saban is already starting to research him and prepare for him. Bama Defense better be ready.
I heard he hurt it kicking at a trash can when he was told he might be losing his starter job - and hit a locker instead.
No sign of him limping after the loss to the Heels, so could be credible.

I'm going with the "too convenient to be true" theory.
His father is on the coaching staff. My guess is that it's total BS to shield him from any embarrassment of losing his starting job to a true freshman.
He was running around like a wild man at the end of the game, and plenty of film shows him walking just fine afterwards.
Just my opinion.

Backup qb is always the best player on the team when the starter is struggling.
Since torching Clemson, Bentley has looked pretty bad in his last 3 starts. They are running the wrong offense for his talents (drop back passer). Against Clemson they gave up any pretense of running the ball, mostly abandoned the RPO and just let Bentley drop back and throw the ball all over the field. It worked so well that Muschamp has not allowed his offensive staff to try it again...and the offense has predictably looked awful. Muschamp is as horrible an offensive coach as everyone at Florida thought he was. Up 13-3 he basically went ultra conservative and hoped his suspect D could hold on to win it. Bentley is somewhat overrated, but the coaching staff basically working against him by running wrong offense and not letting him play his game doesn't help. Hilsinki is unknown commodity, but he was highly recruited. Regardless of whether or not the freshman can ignite the Gamecock offense, they simply do not have the defense (especially the secondary) to stop Bama.

Some Orthopedic professional on one of the USCe forums says it's a Lisfranc injury like Barrett Jones had. TIFWIW.
