Georgia Tech took an early 7-0 lead, saw it all disappear and then rallied for 10 points in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter to top Boston College 17-14 in its season opener 4,000 miles from home in Dublin, Ireland. Dedrick Mills scored the game-winning TD with 35 seconds remaining.
It’s a significant victory for the Yellow Jackets coming off a 3-9 season. It gives them momentum into the early season, an early 1-0 record in the ACC and hopes for a big turnaround. It was similar to rallies early in the 2014 season that ended up with an Orange Bowl berth and victory.
AJC staffers Jeff Schultz and Ken Sugiura were site in Dublin. You can find their reports on AJC.com and MYAJC.com.
