What They Are Saying: Bentley on Clemson not being better than South Carolina

South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley gave websites and radio shows an easy day with the comments he made during an interview with Fox Carolina on Wednesday.

“It all stems from that game. Just because at the end of the game, everyone knew they were not that much better than us or better than us at all, but it really just lit a fire in everybody and since that week everybody has really worked harder and wanted it more,” Bentley told Fox Carolina.

In this edition of What They Are Saying we look at the Twitter storm around Bentley’s comments.

I may have only gone 7/17 1 INT 4.9QBR, and got pulled at HT. BUT Deshaun is barely better than me if better at all. #JakeBentleyQuotes
