    Georgia Tech stuns No. 10 Florida State with a massive ACC football upset win

    The first game of the 2024 college football season was outstanding, with a great game and a fantastic upset finish with Georgia Tech taking down No. 10 Florida State 24-21.

    A back-and-forth game with two defenses playing tough, hard-nosed football, it all came down to the fourth quarter and Yellow Jackets kicker Aidan Birr. With 5 seconds remaining in the game, Birr stepped up and became a hero, crushing a 44-yard field goal for the win.

    This is a huge moment for Georgia Tech and the ACC, complete shifting the conferences outlook for the season. What a win for the head coach Brent Key and the Yellow Jackets who are now a team to watch in 2024.

    Week 0 went perfectly for the Yellow Jackets and miserably for the Seminoles, who now have an uphill battle for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
