Georgia Tech stuns Florida State

BATON ROUGE, La. – Brandon Harris passed for a career-high 286 yards, with two of his three scoring passes going for more than 50 yards, and LSU beat Western Kentucky.

“What a game, huh?” They surged ahead to block the effort of Aguayo, who already had kicked three field goals.

Florida State falls to 6-1 on the year and 4-1 in conference. “When I came around and I kind of got by Aguayo and got in the end zone it was kind of surreal”. Austin had blockers in front of them and cut across the field and down the sidelines, outrunning the final Florida State defender at the 5 to score the winning points.

“We didn’t execute, lost our poise”, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. Our main goal is to try and be the best we can be. “In my opinion, that’s the best team we’ve played all year long, certainly from a personnel standpoint. We’ve got to cover it”.

Over is 5-0 in Yellow Jackets last 5 games in October. The kick never had a shot at the uprights, though, as Georgia Tech blocked the kick and Austin scooped up the loose ball and weaved his way through defenders for the improbably game-winning touchdown.

A run at the national championship may be, too, after falling to Georgia Tech (3-5, 1-4).

No matter the circumstance, good teams don’t lose five straight games.

Coming out of halftime, Thomas and Georgia Tech continued to move the ball at a proficient pace. Gamble had a sack and a tackle for loss.

“I thought we played well tonight”, head coach Chugger Adair said. “We’re going to be old and gray one day and I can tell my child about this”.

Two ACC schools face off against one another on Saturday when the Florida State Seminoles travel to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

“That was the difference, we got turnovers”, said Johnson, adding that Pittsburgh did not have one negative play or a turnover in its 31-28 victory over Georgia Tech last week. “We made a lot of mistakes, but we fought the whole game, came back and found a way”. Erased! And Georgia Tech with an opportunity! Another loss would leave them needing to run the table against Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami and rival Georgia just to become bowl eligible. FSU ran five offensive plays in the third quarter, and Dalvin Cook did not record a single rush, as all five were passes. Thomas has one touchdown run, however, and lead team rushing. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets rank at 122 for 104.5 road passing yards where as Florida State Seminoles rank at 2 for allowing 56.0 passing yards at home.

And it doesn’t get any easier for Georgia Tech. On second down from his 3, Thomas escaped pressure in the end zone and threw a 33-yard completion to Ricky Jeune.

Barrett was 14 for 18 for 223 yards and ran for 101 yards on 13 carries after coach Urban Meyer chose to start him over Cardale Jones this week. Aguayo also kicked three field goals against Miami this season.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Jamal Adams, a safety playing on a special teams unit that ranked 114th out of 128 in special teams efficiency, forced a fumble on a third-quarter kickoff to spark a frenzied stretch that saw the Tigers score three touchdowns in less than five minutes to put away the Hilltoppers.

Fordham 59, Lehigh 42 – Chase Edmonds rushed for a Patriot League-record 347 yards (tied for the most in a Division 1 game this year) as the Rams (7-1, 3-0) prevailed in New York.
