College football is back with a bang.

Georgia Tech kicker Aidan Birr nailed a game-winning field goal as time expired to give the Yellow Jackets a 24-21 upset over the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, Saturday. 

Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei led a 15-play, 84-yard drive, which included two fourth down conversions, to tie the game at 21. That would be the last time Florida State would have the ball.

Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King burned 6:33 of game clock over 12 plays and gave his kicker a chance to win it. 

Birr missed from 52 yards on the first possession of the second half, but he nailed the game-winner from 41 yards, sneaking it just inside the left goalpost. 

Florida State came out of the gates hot, moving the ball with ease on its opening drive. Lawrance Toafili scored the first touchdown of the 2024 season on a 28-yard run. The Seminoles executed a trick play on the extra point to secure the two-point conversion, giving them an 8-0 lead.
