GREENSBORO, N.C. - Bill Hass of theacc.com spoke with senior center Matt Tennant over the phone on Wednesday to discuss a variety of topics, including his transition from playing guard in high school to the challenges that face the offensive line this fall.
Below is an excerpt of the article:
Coach Frank Spaziani, who has spent most of his career coaching the defensive side of the ball, appreciates what Tennant has accomplished.
"You have to be athletic to be a center," Spaziani said. "You've got to get the ball up and then you've got to move, you're playing somebody right on your head most of the time, you make all the calls, get the line calls straightened out, the pass protection. You've got to be smart, athletic - you have to be a very good player."
One part of what Spaziani said brought a chuckle from Tennant.
"I'm an offensive lineman, so I know I'm not that athletic," he said, "but I think of myself as a decently athletic guy."
