Florida State vs. Georgia Tech: Live Score and Highlights

Georgia Tech 22, Florida State 16, Final 

The finish inside Bobby Dodd Stadium was one for the ages as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets knocked off the Florida State Seminoles 22-16 on a blocked kick return for a touchdown. It was Florida State that appeared to have the game in its hands with 10 seconds remaining as Roberto Aguayo was attempting a 56-yard field goal, but it was Georgia Tech's Lance Austin that wound up in the end zone for the winning score. 

The two key numbers in this game were 34 and 82. It was the 34 minutes that Georgia Tech possessed the ball that helped it sustain drives on offense and keep the ball away from Florida State. The other number (82) was the amount of rushing yards that Dalvin Cook had. That is not a terrible number, but the ineffectiveness to consistently run the ball hurt Florida State's offense on Saturday night. 

Everett Golson finished with 210 yards on 20-of-30 passing, but it was a red zone interception (his first of the year) that turned out to be a pretty big play. The Florida State defense played well at times, but it gave up too many chunk plays. The Yellow Jackets only mustered 67 total passing yards, but they were still able to consistently run the ball. 

Quarterback Justin Thomas finished with 88 yards on the ground, including a 60-yard score. His pass to Brad Stewart in the fourth quarter on fourth down was undoubtedly one of the biggest plays of the game. Georgia Tech played like a team that had nothing to lose and it was a big first ACC win for them. 

For Florida State, the loss breaks up a 28-game ACC win streak, but all of their goals are still on the table. With Clemson still on the schedule (Nov. 7), the Seminoles still control their own destiny.
