Last-second field goal lifts Georgia Tech over Boston College

Yesterday in Boston, Aidan Birr, Georgia Tech kicker, made a 23-yard field goal with 11 seconds left, lifting Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to a 36-34 win over Boston College Eagles at Alumni Stadium.
After falling behind in the fourth quarter, Georgia Tech needed a rally to stay in ACC championship contention and preserve potential College Football Playoff hopes.
Haynes King completed 26 of 34 passes for 371 yards and led a 13-play, 52-yard drive that set up Birr’s game-winning kick, and Birr has made 19 of 21 field goals this season.
The win leaves Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets tied atop the ACC standings and hosting Pittsburgh next Saturday, with Coach Brent Key saying it gives them a chance to play for a championship.
Looking beyond the final play, Georgia Tech’s defense has allowed 583 yards vs NC State and 537 vs Boston College, jeopardizing its season goals.
