[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 225839, member: 1640"] People often remind me of that. So I am almost starting to believe it. I guess my resistance to the idea is for a couple of reasons. Those Gailey defenses had a way of giving up a lot of points in big games. My memory may be foggy, and I have not gone back and checked, but I remember being at games when things were on the line and the defense gave up the big drive or the big score. That does not seem out of character for Tech for many decades, with only a few notable and exceptional seasons. The other reason for my resistance is perhaps even more anecdotal. It seems harder for teams in general these days to recruit solid defenses. Explanations are often given, such as offenses being more "high powered," or that factories are hoarding all the top notch defensive players, or that more rigid APR standards especially hurt areas like the defensive line, but whether these are valid reasons or not, my general impression is that recruiting for the D seems harder than ever for Tech.
