In a stunning opener for the 2024 college football season, Georgia Tech upset No. 10 Florida State 24-21 in Dublin, Ireland, clinching the victory with a last-second field goal by Aidan Barr. Despite Florida State's strong start, scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, they struggled offensively, leading to a 14-14 tie at halftime. The Yellow Jackets surged ahead in the fourth quarter with a touchdown from Jamal Haynes, but DJ Uiagalelei orchestrated a 15-play drive to tie the game for FSU. Ultimately, Georgia Tech's resilience paid off as they regained field goal range late in the game, culminating in Barr's decisive kick. This marks Georgia Tech's first victory over a top-10 opponent since 2015, underscoring the significance of the win as both teams aim for success in the expanded College Football Playoff format. Florida State's playoff aspirations are already precarious following this unexpected defeat.
