Georgia Tech’s Patrick Gamble blocked Florida State’ 56-yard field-goal attempt, and Lance Austin picked up the ball and returned it 78 yards to give the Yellow Jackets a 22-16 win Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
As Austin ran through the end zone, Tech’s homecoming crowd poured over the walls and onto the field to celebrate an ending and win few could have foreseen.
The victory snapped Tech’s five-game losing streak and the Seminoles’ 28-game winning streak in the ACC.
FSU was forced to try the long field goal because Tech forced Everett Golson to throw an incomplete pass on third.
