COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Freshman quarterback Jake Bentley improved to 3-0 as a starter, throwing for 254 yards and two touchdowns as South Carolina handed Missouri its 11th straight SEC loss 31-21 on Saturday.Bentley showed poise, strength and accuracy in the pocket, completing 22 of 28 passes to lead the Gamecocks (5-4, 3-4 SEC) to their third straight victory.The Gamecocks are in the midst of a rebuilding project with 78 percent of their roster consisting of underclassmen, but appear to be on the right track. Freshman running back Rico Dowdle ran for 149 yards and a touchdown and also hauled in a 17-yard TD strike from Bentley.Jake is bringing a lot of energy to the offense and when we have a matchup we like were going to take it, said South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel.Samuel had 125 yards receiving on nine catches and also ran for a score.He muscled us around a little bit, said Missouri coach Barry Odom.Drew Lock threw for 302 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions for Missouri (2-7, 0-5).South Carolina didnt let down after pulling a 24-21 upset of 18th-ranked Tennessee last week. One of the South Carolinas coaches even set mousetraps around the locker room to remind players it was a trap game.Everyone is patting you on the back, but I told our players, `Dont take the cheese, coach Will Muschamp said.With the game tied at 21 late in the third quarter, Rashad Fenton intercepted Lock near the goal line on a deep ball along the right sideline. Bentley led a 98-yard drive, culminating in a go-ahead 20-yard TD run by Dowdle .Bentley showed poise beyond his years in his third start.Late in the first half, he took a sack on a second-and-goal at the 1 rather than throw the ball away. Rather than dwelling on the loss, Bentley tossed a 6-yard TD pass to tight end K.C. Crosby on the next play to give the Gamecocks a 21-14 lead at half.When Jake is in there we feel like we can score from anywhere on the field, said Gamecocks tight end Hayden Hurst.THE TAKEAWAYMISSOURI: Missouri will have to bulk up its run defense if it wants to get in the win column in the conference. The Tigers defense wore down late in the game as South Carolina simply pounded away at them with Dowdle ripping off huge chunks of yardage.SOUTH CAROLINA: Bentley looks like the real deal for the Gamecocks, which makes you wonder why they waited so long to play the true freshman. The defense, which hasnt allowed an opponent to score 30 points all season, can hang with anyone.UP NEXTMISSOURI: The Tigers return home to host Vanderbilt next Saturday.SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks travel to Florida on Saturday to face the Gators, who have they have beaten in four of the last six meetings.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
