One game into the 2024 college football season and we have an upset.
Georgia Tech football pulled off the improbable upset 24-21 over Florida State at Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. Aidan Birr hit a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give the Yellow Jackets the victory over the Seminoles.
The game marked the third straight year and the ninth time in history a college football game has been played in Ireland. Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King completed 11-of-16 passes for 146 yards and also added 15 rushes for 46 yards, while Jamal Haynes had 75 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Birr had missed a 51-yard field goal earlier in the game.
