Jamal Haynes Scampers 68 Yards In Final Minute, Lifting Georgia Tech
Facing third-and-22, Georgia Tech quarterback Christopher Sims handed the ball to Haynes, who broke through the Panthers' defense with astonishing speed and agility. Dodging would-be tacklers, Haynes showcased his exceptional athleticism, racing into the end zone to seal the win for his team.
Sims played a pivotal role in the Yellow Jackets' success. Despite trailing 17-16 with under two minutes remaining, the quarterback remained calm and collected, leading his team down the field with precision and determination.
Georgia Tech's defense held their ground in the face of Georgia State's desperate attempts to equalize. The Yellow Jackets forced three turnovers, including a crucial fumble recovery by cornerback Kenion Walker in the final minutes.
"This is an incredible moment for our program," said Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key. "Jamal Haynes' run was extraordinary, and Chris Sims' leadership was exceptional. Our defense deserves immense credit for shutting down Georgia State when it mattered most."
The victory keeps Georgia Tech's College Football Playoff hopes alive as they improve to 3-1 on the season. They face a challenging matchup against Florida State next week, but the momentum from this thrilling win could serve as a catalyst for continued success.
