Georgia Tech Clinches 30-29 Win Over NC State

In a thrilling finish, Georgia Tech's freshman quarterback Aaron Philo led his team to a 30-29 victory over N.C. State with an 18-yard touchdown run in the final seconds. The game was defined by dramatic swings, including N.C. State's Hollywood Smothers' 53-yard touchdown run that briefly gave the Wolfpack a lead. N.C. State's freshman quarterback CJ Bailey was both a hero and a liability, scoring three rushing touchdowns but also throwing three interceptions. Despite Bailey's efforts, including a 28-yard touchdown run, Georgia Tech's defense capitalized on turnovers, with Romello Height's interception setting up a key score. The win ensured Georgia Tech a perfect home season, while N.C. State's bowl eligibility hopes were dashed. Philo's poised performance under pressure has drawn comparisons to legendary quarterbacks, highlighting his potential as a rising star.
