When South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp was trying to describe the value of Alan Knott this season, Muschamp talked about “moving parts.”
“There’s a lot of moving parts, and we rely a lot on him as far as making the calls in the run game and the pass game,” Muschamp said. “The guy has done a fantastic job.”
Muschamp was referring to movement by the defense, which Knott is charged with diagnosing and adjusting to, but he could just as easily been talking about movement on Knott’s side of the ball. The senior center is the Gamecocks’ only offensive lineman who has played the same position in every game this season.
