Ten summers ago, the biggest concern on Georgia Tech fans’ minds was which Notre Dame quarterback the Yellow Jackets would be facing in South Bend come September 1st. Irish coach (at the time) Charlie Weis was famously tight lipped about which of his three options he’d be starting, opting to keep his hand close to his chest and keep the Jackets guessing.
We all know how that ended up. Ironically, it was Tech coach Chan Gailey who was shown the door at the end of the season while Weis limped on for another couple years. A 33-3 win over Notre Dame seems like a season-defining win, until Notre Dame finishes 3-9.
