The 2015 Florida State vs. Georgia Tech football game was a regular season college football game played on October 24, 2015, between the Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. It was held at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The Seminoles entered the game ranked No. 9 in both Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) polls and were expected to win comfortably against the Yellow Jackets. On the final play, a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown by Georgia Tech's Lance Austin sealed the upset for the Yellow Jackets and created a memorable moment in college football history[2]
The Seminoles started their season 6-0 entering the game against Georgia Tech and came off a dominant 41–21 victory the week prior against Louisville.[3] They moved up 2 spots to No. 9 in the AP poll following week 7. They were considered early season favorites to reach a spot in the college football playoff and win the ACC.[4]
The Yellow Jackets opened up their 2015 season with lopsided wins against Alcorn State[5] and Tulane[6] before losing 5 straight games and falling out of the FBS Top 25 rankings.
Lead play-by-play commentator Mark Jones called the game's final play on Roberto Aguayo's 56-yard game winning field goal attempt.
"From the left hash. To remain unbeaten. And perhaps a player in the college football playoff and the 29th consecutive conference win. Blocked! Snuffed! Robbed out! Erased!...And Georgia Tech with an opportunity! Austin, still on his feet! One man! You can't believe what just happened! What a time to be alive!"[8]
Georgia Tech radio play-by-play announcer Brandon Gaudin coined the play as the Miracle on Techwood Drive as the heir to the 2008 Miracle on North Avenue which also took place at Bobby Dodd Stadium.[9]
Following this defeat, Florida State dropped to No. 13 in the AP Poll and No. 15 in the Coaches poll. The team went on to finish the 2015 season 10–3, losing in the Peach Bowl against Houston.[10]
