Georgia Tech pulled a stunner to start the college football season, downing Florida State 24-21 to open the season with a win. Not just a win, but a well-deserved win.

The Yellow Jackets were more physical in the trenches on both sides of the ball, taking it to the Seminoles after the opening stanza and simply leaning on them over the course of the game.

Then Georgia Tech had a little fun celebrating the win.

The program’s social media team took to Twitter to tweet a graphic, repurposing a look from the EA Sports College Football 25 video game to make their point. The caption? “Error! #StingEm” with a graphic of a player disconnecting from the game.

Georgia Tech survives early push, battles back

Florida State got off to a very promising start to the game, marching right down the field and scoring on a 28-yard Lawrance Toafili touchdown run. The ‘Noles even went for two and converted, taking an 8-0 lead after the opening drive.

But it would never be that easy again in the game.

Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei struggled to push the ball down the field, making the Florida State offense a bit one-dimensional. Georgia Tech took advantage by winning up front, really putting the clamps down.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King and running back Jamal Haynes were excellent. They helped give Georgia Tech a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter.

Florida State answered to tie the game at 21-21, then watched as Georgia Tech ran down the clock for an eventual 44-yard game-winning field goal by Aidan Birr as time expired. Game, set, match.
