Fournette rushed for 212 yards and four touchdowns and scored another on a 44-yard pass in the Tigers' 56- win.
Tech stayed close into the third quarter with Patrick Mahomes scrambling long enough to find open receivers to move the ball. He hit Jakeem Grant with a 46-yard touchdown strike in the first quarter, then a 3-yarder in the second.
Mahomes' 31-yard TD pass to Reginald Davis early in the third pulled Tech within 21-20, the difference being a failed two-point attempt after Tech's first touchdown.
