With great fanfare, college football is back.
At the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday, Georgia Tech kicker Aidan Birr scored a game-winning field goal with seconds remaining to give the Yellow Jackets a 24-21 upset victory over the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles.
To tie the score at 21, Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei led a 15-play, 84-yard drive that included two fourth down conversions. Florida State would not have the ball again after that.
With 12 plays completed in 6:33 of game time, Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King gave his kicker a chance to win it.
Despite missing a 52-yard attempt on the opening play of the second half, Birr scored the game-winning goal from 41 yards, slipping it just inside the left goalpost.
Early on, Florida State made a great impression by driving the ball with ease. With a 28-yard run, Lawrance Toafili scored the opening touchdown of the 2024 campaign. With an 8-0 lead, the Seminoles secured the two-point conversion through a deceptive play on the extra point.
In previous coverage, Colorado barred a reporter from questioning Deion Sanders and citing “personal attacks.”.
In response, the Yellow Jackets quickly scored a point of their own. With the offense at the other team’s one-yard line, backup quarterback Zach Pyron replaced King and raced into the end zone for a touchdown on a QB draw.
Using both his arms and legs, King was a constant for the Yellow Jackets throughout the entire day. He ran the ball 15 times for 54 yards, finishing the day 11-for-16 for 146 yards.
Jamal Haynes, a running back for Georgia Tech, carried the ball 11 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns in the triumph.
Since 2021, it was the first time FSU had lost as a double-digit favorite.
The Seminoles have now lost two straight games after being destroyed 63-3 by the Georgia Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl, where they were eliminated from the College Football Playoffs despite having a 13-0 record at the time.
