BOWLING GREEN — Football fans of a certain age will remember the Miami Dolphins’ famous “No-Name Defense.”
As Bowling Green State University football coach Mike Jinks remembered, that was the moniker attached to the Dolphins defense in 1972 because that unit lacked well-known faces. But that nameless unit played a key role as Miami marched to a Super Bowl crown and the only undefeated season in NFL history.
“I would 100 percent take that — and the results,” Jinks said.
It became apparent, as the Falcons finished spring drills this month, that this year the BG defense also could be viewed as a “no-name” group because it features few faces familiar to Falcons fans.
