The more apropos question would be, "how does Boom get QBs and Spurrier couldn't?" Boom holding-on to McIlwain was huge, but getting Bentley was not a big surprise considering his Dad, Bobby, is the RB coach at Carolina and he (Jake) basically grew-up a Gamecock fan as well. Boom learned his lesson about QBs at UF ... he'll be signing a good one every year hopefully.

Another big time QB in back2back years for Muschamp and staff. He'll probably be an Elite 11 Finalist as well.
