Aidan Birr made a 55-yard field goal as time expired and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets upset the No. 12 Clemson Tigers on Saturday. With no timeouts left and the clock running with under 20 seconds to play, the Georgia Tech special teams squad sprinted onto the field and lined up. And on fourth-and-3, Birr connected and the home crowd rushed the field. Quarterback Haynes King returned from a lower-body injury that kept him out of Georgia Tech's Sept. 6 win over Gardener-Webb. King was 19 for 27 for 216 yards and added 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown on a 1-yard quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter for the Yellow Jackets (3-0, 1-0 ACC).

King's score and the 2-point conversion gave the Yellow Jackets a 21-14 lead. Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik had an uneven performance in which he turned the ball over twice - one fumble and one interception. Klubnik was 15 for 26 for 207 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Wesco early in the second half to give the Tigers a 14-13 lead. Klubnik added 62 yards and one touchdown on the ground. For the second straight week, Clemson (1-2, 0-1) had to overcome a slow start and halftime deficit. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

Despite not having starting quarterback Haynes King, Georgia Tech was far too much for Gardner-Webb. The Yellow Jackets cruised to a 59-12 victory over the Runnin' Bulldogs on their home opener at Bobby Dodd Stadium. King went through full warm-ups, but was ruled out just before kick-off with a "nagging lower body injury" per a Georgia Tech spokesperson. Backup Aaron Philo made his first career start and struggled early, turning the ball over on Georgia Tech's first two possessions. But a strong offensive line performance and the rushing attack from the duo of Jamal Haynes and Malachi Hosley helped him settle in. The Yellow Jackets (2-0) scored 42 unanswered points and gained 680 total yards after Gardner-Webb (1-1) briefly led 6-0. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

Haynes King faked a pitch and scampered for a 45-yard touchdown with 1:07 remaining as Georgia Tech overcame a turnover-filled start to beat Colorado 27-20 on Friday night. King finished with 156 yards rushing and three TDs in the season opener. He also threw for 143 yards. On the winning five-play drive, King carried the ball four times. The Buffaloes had two timeouts on their final drive but didn't use them. They drove to the 50 and attempted a Hail Mary with 3 seconds remaining but the ball was batted down in the end zone. It was a disastrous beginning for a veteran Georgia Tech offense, with two fumbles and an interception on its opening three possessions. The Yellow Jackets had only 10 turnovers last season. King steadily settled them down.

Kaidon Salter scored on a 7-yard TD scramble with just over 8:25 remaining to pull Colorado to within 20-19. The extra point by Alejandro Mata was blocked but had just enough on it to creep over the crossbar to tie the game. This marked the first time Colorado and Georgia Tech have met on the football field. The programs are forever linked after splitting the 1990 national championship. Salter threw for 159 yards and a touchdown in his Colorado debut. The Liberty transfer also rushed for 43 yards and a score. Julian “JuJu” Lewis, the highly touted freshman, didn't see any action. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

Haynes King threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score and Georgia Tech never trailed in a comfortable 35-12 win over Georgia State on Saturday night. It was a balanced offensive effort for Tech, which accumulated 499 yards of offense (274 in the air, 225 on the ground). Georgia State tallied 360 yards with 210 in the air and 150 on the ground in its season opener. Georgia State threatened to land the first blow after Tech won the toss and deferred to the second half. On their first possession, the Panthers marched 64 yards to the Tech 1 and had a first-and-goal.

Tech's defense denied Georgia State running back Sy'veon Wilkerson three times before quarterback Christian Veilleux threw an incompletion on fourth down. The Yellow Jackets played strong defense as Georgia State was 1 for 3 in red zone tries. Tech was 3 for 3 in the red zone. Tech took a 14-3 lead at halftime behind Jamal Haynes' 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and King's 2-yard scoring run that capped an 11-play, 75-yard drive with four seconds left before intermission. The Yellow Jackets pulled away in early in the third quarter with two big touchdown plays. Eric Singleton Jr.'s 25-yard touchdown scamper extended the Tech lead to 21-3, and on Tech's next drive King found a wide-open Malik Rutherford for a 52-yard touchdown connection. - AP College Football

Aidan Birr made a 44-yard field goal as time expired and Georgia Tech upset No. 10 Florida State 24-21 on Saturday in the first major college football game of the season. Coming off an undefeated regular season, but with a remade roster, the Seminoles tied the game at 21 with 6:33 left in the fourth quarter on a 15-play touchdown drive that included two fourth-down conversions by DJ Uiagalelei.

Florida State (0-1, 0-1 ACC) never touched the ball again, and Birr came on with five seconds left on the clock to drill the winner. Jamal Haynes ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns for Georgia Tech, and Haynes King threw for 146 yards and ran for 54 as the Yellow Jackets (1-0, 1-0) were able to control the line of scrimmage and accumulate 190 rushing yards and 5.3 yards per carry. Uiagalelei completed 19 of 27 passes for 193 yards in his Florida State debut. The teams had just seven drives apiece. Georgia Tech's final two drives were among the best, an 11-play, 89-yard touchdown drive and then the 12-play, 49-yard drive to set up Birr's kick. - AP College Football

02/07/23 - Pierce Quick, rJr/2025, Georgia Tech, 6-5, 291 (DS#999 OT) + More +

Each with eligibility remaining, three Georgia Tech players have decided to complete their football-playing careers. Defensive tackle T.K. Chimedza, tight end PeJe Harris and offensive lineman Pierce Quick confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that they have moved on from playing football at Tech or elsewhere.

Quick, who started eight games for the Jackets last season at left guard after transferring from Alabama, figures to be the most significant on-field loss. Quick was in position to stay in the starting lineup with his remaining two seasons of eligibility but injuries led him to decide to retire. Quick has transferred back to Alabama, where his path to a degree was quicker than at Tech, and is on track to graduate this spring. He plans to pursue a career in coaching. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Mississippi State has its first tight end and a new volleyball player to boot. Georgia tight end Ryland Goede committed to transfer to MSU on Monday, and he'll bring his fiancée - volleyball player Alexa Fortin - to Starkville as well. Goede did not record any statistics during the 2022 season on a national champion Georgia team featuring a pair of standout tight ends in Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington. The fourth-year junior played in 13 games in 2019 and 2021, missing the 2020 season while recovering from shoulder surgery. The Kennesaw, Georgia, product is a former four-star recruit. - The Dispatch

From birth, Haynes King has lived a life revolving around football. Growing up the son of a high-school football coach in Texas, King was a ballboy for the Longview High Lobos "as soon as he was old enough to protect himself on the sideline," Haynes' father John said. As a young boy and later a star quarterback in Longview, an east Texas city of about 82,000 roughly 40 miles from the Louisiana border, he spent many an hour in the Lobo Den, the school's fieldhouse. "He's just a guy that leads by example," John King said of his son in a phone interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Not a big rah-rah guy. Hard worker, great teammate. Enjoys the locker room, the coaches office. He just kind of grew up a coach's kid and that's what he likes to do. It doesn't take much to make him happy. He's just kind of one of the guys." That approach will surely find itself welcome within the confines of the Georgia Tech locker room.

After three years at Texas A&M, King seeks a new start at Tech and a fair shot at playing time -- and has three remaining seasons of eligibility. "That's all he wants," John King said. "He just wants a chance to win a job and play college football, be a starter." At Texas A&M, King was a heralded recruit - he was ranked the No. 5 dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 class by 247Sports Composite - who twice won the Aggies' starting job (2021 and 2022) coming out of the preseason. He was recognized by the team with awards for his toughness, attitude and conditioning level and earned the praise of coach Jimbo Fisher. But on-field success was not to be his as an Aggie. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

01/14/23 - Brett Seither, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-5, 240 (DS#44 TE) + More +

Nebraska's push into the transfer portal isn't over yet. The Huskers are hosting former Georgia tight end Brett Seither this weekend, a source confirmed to The World-Herald. The 6-foot-5, 228-pounder arrives on the heels of winning a national championship with the Bulldogs days ago in Los Angeles. NU has already added nine transfers since coach Matt Rhule arrived in late November and now will look to shore up a tight end position full of unproven youth. Seither has appeared in 27 career games, making a total of three catches for 51 yards and a touchdown across four seasons. He would have two years of remaining eligibility. Georgia, of course, will have star Brock Bowers for another year coming off an award-winning campaign as the nation's top tight end. The Bulldogs are adding multiple high-end prospects there in the 2023 cycle to a loaded room. - Lincoln Journal Star
