Georgia Tech opens college football season with upset win over 10th-ranked FSU

College football is back with a bang.

Georgia Tech kicker Aidan Birr nailed a game-winning field goal as time expired to give the Yellow Jackets a 24-21 upset over the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, Saturday. 

Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei led a 15-play, 84-yard drive, which included two fourth down conversions, to tie the game at 21. That would be the last time Florida State would have the ball.

Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King burned 6:33 of game clock over 12 plays and gave his kicker a chance to win it. 

Birr missed from 52 yards on the first possession of the second half, but he nailed the game-winner from 41 yards, sneaking it just inside the left goalpost. 

Florida State came out of the gates hot, moving the ball with ease on its opening drive. Lawrance Toafili scored the first touchdown of the 2024 season on a 28-yard run. The Seminoles executed a trick play on the extra point to secure the two-point conversion, giving them an 8-0 lead.

The Yellow Jackets responded with a fast score of their own. Backup quarterback Zach Pyron subbed in for King with the offense at the opposing one-yard line and barreled into the end zone for a touchdown on a QB draw.

King was steady all day for the Yellow Jackets, getting it done with both his arm and legs. He finished the day 11-for-16 for 146 yards while running the ball 15 times for 54 yards. 

Georgia Tech running back Jamal Haynes ran the ball 11 times for 75 yards and scored two touchdowns in the victory.

It was FSU’s first loss as a double-digit favorite since 2021. 

This marks the second consecutive loss for the Seminoles after they were crushed by the Georgia Bulldogs 63-3 in the Orange Bowl after not making the College Football Playoff despite a 13-0 record at the time. 

The Seminoles will look to right the ship at home against Boston College Sept. 2.

Georgia Tech will look to build on its upset victory at home against the Georgia State Panthers Aug. 31.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes. During 2016 and 2017, the audience would kind of look at the ceiling. The jokes...

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
