Georgia Tech stuns No. 9 Florida State with TD off blocked field goal

Georgia Tech upset No. 9 Florida State 22-16 on Saturday night when Lance Austin returned a blocked field goal attempt 56 yards for a touchdown with no time remaining. The victory ends Florida State's ACC winning streak at 28 games, and almost assuredly knocks the Seminoles out of College Football Playoff contention.

What the win means for Georgia Tech: The Jackets are alive! This team needed so desperately to win a game like this after coming so close against perhaps the most difficult schedule anyone in the ACC has played yet. After losing to Notre Dame, Pitt and North Carolina in heartbreaking fashion, it was simply the Jackets' turn to celebrate.
