  • D.J. Uiagalelei has been efficient so far in his FSU debut (12-14, 96 yards), but he hasn’t thrown the ball downfield much. The Seminoles may need to open up the playbook in the second half because the Yellow Jackets have been feisty.

  • Halftime: Georgia Tech 14, Florida State 14

    FSU’s Ryan Fitzgerald drills a 59-yard field goal to tie the game up! What a kick.

  • The Seminoles are trying to get on the board before halftime. We’re just under the two-minute mark and they have the ball at their own 30.

  • Georgia Tech 14, Florida State 11

    QB Haynes King did a lot of legwork on that drive on the ground, but it’s Jamal Haynes that pushes his way into the end zone for the TD and the lead.

  • GT is moving the ball once again with chunk plays. They’re now into FSU’s red zone with a chance to take the lead.

  • Florida State 11, Georgia Tech 7

    GT’s defense firms up but FSU’s Ryan Fitzgerald drills a 52-yard field goal to extend the lead.

  • Georgia Tech just bailed out FSU with a facemask penalty on third down and now the Seminoles are in GT territory.

  • Georgia Tech can’t do anything with the possession and punts it back to FSU.

  • FSU goes for it on fourth down in GT territory and DOES NOT GET IT! What a stop by the Yellow Jackets. They’ll have the ball at their own 34-yard line.

  • Touchdown Georgia Tech!

    Zach Pyron hammers into the end zone to cap off a 6-play, 79-yard drive. Game on!

  • Georgia Tech has marched right down the field in response. Haynes King passed to Malik Rutherford for a 42-yard chunk play, but the Yellow Jackets are moving the ball with ease.

  • Florida State 8, Georgia Tech 0

    The Seminoles tried a swinging gate play on the two-point conversion and they get it! That’s one way to start the season.

  • Touchdown Noles!

    Lawrance Toafili sprints through the Georgia Tech defense for a 28-yard touchdown.

  • The Seminoles are on the move and nearing the red zone after a few first downs on the ground.
