— When Missouri quarterback Drew Lock last played South Carolina at home, he looked far different than he does now. Now, with a shorter trim and bigger arm, Lock can attack the whole field — something his potent Missouri (1-0) offence will need when it faces a steep competition spike against South Carolina (1-0) on Saturday. South Carolina coach Will Muschamp believes that quarterbacks are inherent leaders, and Bentley has fulfilled that role thus far. Bentley potentially has a chance to post big passing stats Saturday against a Missouri defence that allowed 353 passing yards to Missouri State last week. DOWDLE TIME: After facing N.C. State’s swarming run defence last week, South Carolina running back Rico Dowdle will have an opportunity to rebound against Missouri.
