CLEMSON – Matt Bockhorst laughed every time a reporter asked him how many snaps he was taking at center and how many he was taking at guard, not falling into the trap of giving insight into the battle to be the starting center.
When yet another one phrased the question a different way, Bockhorst rolled his eyes and smiled and said, “I’m not much of math guy.”
Bockhorst is actually pretty good at math, and right now he knows that the main number if five – the coaches want to get the best five offensive linemen on the field, and he’s been working at both center and left guard as the coaches search for the right combination.
