Freidgen Compares MD to 1989 GT Team

Interesting comparison - link here.

Friedgen, asked if this game will tell him about the season's final month, said: "I hope not. If we win, I hope it will give us a spark."

The season, which has faded faster than anyone within the program had anticipated, reminds Friedgen of the 1989 Georgia Tech team, on which he served as offensive coordinator. The Yellow Jackets were 0-3 before they beat Maryland and played at 14th-ranked Clemson. Georgia Tech, more than a three-touchdown underdog, won by 16 and lost only once more that season. The next year, it won a share of the national championship.
