Aidan Birr made a 55-yard field goal as time expired, tying the longest in school history, after the special teams unit sprinted onto the field with no timeouts left. This highlights Georgia Tech's ability to execute under pressure in critical situations.
Quarterback Haynes King returned from injury, completing 19 of 27 passes for 216 yards and rushing 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown. His leadership and versatility were key in the game-winning drive and overall offensive production.
The defense forced two turnovers (a fumble and an interception by Omar Daniels at the 7-yard line) and held Clemson to field goal attempts, including a missed 52-yarder. This ability to create stops and limit scoring opportunities was crucial against a ranked opponent.
Georgia Tech overcame a halftime deficit and responded after Clemson took a lead, with King's 1-yard sneak and 2-point conversion giving them a 21-14 lead. The team showed composure in a tight game, setting up the dramatic finish.
The win improves Georgia Tech to 3-0 (1-0 ACC) and could propel them into the AP Top 25 for the first time since early 2024. This victory over a ranked opponent builds confidence and sets a positive tone for upcoming games, including a home matchup against Temple.
