CLEMSON – Center Matt Bockhorst sat down with the media for interviews Monday afternoon with a scowl on his face. His jaw was set, his visage grim, and what followed was 15 minutes of fire and brimstone as only an offensive lineman can deliver. He defended his teammates. He defended his quarterback. And he told the truth about the struggles of the offensive line. It was pure gold.
Clemson’s offense struggled in a 14-8 victory over Georgia Tech Saturday, and through three games it hasn’t produced to the standard that the program has set. Bockhorst knows it, and he says that not playing to that standard led to several sideline outbursts on his part during the game.
