The most accurate kicker in GT history, seriously Firstly, let’s remember one of the best moments from last season, Aidan Birr’s game-winning field goal
The 2024 college football season has barely begun, but it has already had its fair share of chaos. If you're unsure how to bet on Week 1's full slate of games, perhaps a quick look back at Week 0's wild matchups will help.
Florida State and Georgia Tech kicked off the 2024 college football season with a game at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, Saturday. Aidan Birr hit a 44-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic to give the Yellow Jackets an 24-21 upset win over No.
Yes, we know it was a Georgia Tech win. And a well-deserved one at that. But for the purposes of the ACC’s national prestige and what the Florida State loss means for the ACC, the Yellow Jackets celebration is a different topic.
Georgia Tech has done it again. They were able to secure another win over a ranked ACC team and they did it in the season opener against the No. 10 team in the country.
So who could be the next TCU or Indiana? Or who could be the Group of 5 school that breaks through? Or who could be the school that may not get there but could play spoiler for teams looking to get in?
Aidan Birr made a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give Georgia Tech a 24-21 upset victory over No. 10 Florida State on Saturday in the season opener for both teams at Dublin, Ireland.
They did it! Georgia Tech started the year off with a huge upset against No. 10 Florida State and it ended with a game-winning field goal from kicker Aidan Birr.
More watch list honors are rolling in for Georgia Tech athletes. Earlier this week, Haynes King and Jamal Haynes were named to the Maxwell Award Watch List, Weston Franklin was named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, and Haynes was also named to the Paul Hornung Watch List.
Georgia Tech continued with fall camp today and the Yellow Jackets now have under four weeks to get ready for their season opener against Florida State.
Kickers are such a strange position in college football. It is either the most important or least important position on the field. During a tough fought a 3-point margin can be the the difference between winning a big upset and having your opponent “survive a scare”.
