Alabama’s Week 3 visit to South Carolina lost some buzz when the Gamecocks were upset by North Carolina on Saturday.

Then on Monday, reports out of Columbia indicate quarterback Jake Bentley will be sidelined for several weeks. Bentley, a graduate of Opelika High, broke his foot, The Big Spur was the first to report Monday afternoon.

That means highly-touted recruit Ryan Hilinski will get the start Saturday against Georgia Southern in the Alabama tune-up. The four-star prospect was the No. 2 rated pro-style quarterback.

Bentley was 16-for-30 passing with 142 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in South Carolina’s 24-20 loss to North Carolina. He finished with a 29.0 QB rating, according to ESPN’s scale that had Tua Tagovailoa at a 94.0 in the win over Duke.

Bentley has 33 starts for South Carolina after graduating from high school early and winning the job as a true freshman.
