Middle of the ACC Struggling

Link here........... Here's a look at the ACC vs SEC - link here. Interesting that the SEC is only 10-9 against Div I-A opponents.

Here's a funny look at the ACC with a Pink Floyd theme for every ACC team. Here's GT's theme:

“Learning to Fly,” Georgia Tech —- Doesn’t it seem like Georgia Tech is perpetually on the edge of greatness? It is as if the Yellow Jackets are always learning to fly with the big boys. Since tying for the ACC championship with a 10-2 overall record in 1998, Georgia Tech has gone 8-4, 9-3, 8-5, 7-6 and 7-6. The Yellow Jackets are 4-2 this season and probably will head toward a 6-5 finish.

In this look at the ACC, GT gets a "thumbs up":
Georgia Tech’s defense quietly is improving, thanks in part to the return of injured defensive end Eric Henderson. Maryland and Duke, albeit struggling offenses, managed 14 points and 265 yards in Tech’s past two games. Linebacker Chris Reis leads the ACC in sacks with seven and has forced two fumbles.

Here's a look at the ACC, with this quote from Coach Gailey on Miami's D.Hester, the return specialist:
The sophomore has 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash and a 38-inch vertical leap. Said Georgia Tech Coach Chan Gailey, "I'd rather take a 30-yard punt out of bounds because I'm not going to take a chance of him returning one 60 yards against me."
