With about five minutes left in the game, Boston College led the game 14-10 and had possession of the ball. The Yellow Jackets’ defense then held the Eagles to a three and out drive.
Georgia Tech had the ball, but it would need to drive down the field with 3:33 left on the clock at its own 42-yard line.

Quarterback Justin Thomas tossed one up to Qua Searcy for a 22-yard gain, enough to move the chains.
From here, the Yellow Jackets continued down the field, eventually having true freshman Dedrick Mills run the game-winning touchdown into the end zone in the final minute.
