Jamal Haynes came up big when it mattered.

Georgia Tech football was tied 34-34 with North Carolina with fewer than 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Haynes King was sidelined with an undisclosed injury, so backup quarterback Zach Pyron handed the ball to Haynes, who took off 68 yards to put the Yellow Jackets up 40-34.
