The "Band of No-names" Rocks on "D"

Caught a nice feature on the Georgia Tech defense on the "Southern Sports Report" on Fox SS last night. Profiled the Tech D. Here are some quotes and comments:

- Referred to as a "Band of No-names", "over-achievers"
- "D creating a buzz nationally"
- KFox, DSmith were interviewed. Basically said they are in-synch now.
- "strategy - to rely on each other"
- "sound fundamental defense working for this surprise team in the ACC".
- "Gailey appears to be a lock for ACC Coach of the Year".
- "Tenuta might be assistant coach of the year".

Ryan Stewart was one of the desk commentators (who was a GT captain in the 90's). He made a couple of interesting comments:
- "We (players) didn't have respect for Bill Lewis. It was George O'Leary that kept us fired up".

By the way, also a short highlight of the chaos at Clemson. It mentioned the irony that a loss to his dad might mean the firing of Tommy Bowden. That guy is hanging on by a string.
