In beating a Top 10 team for the first time since 2015, Georgia Tech rang in the 2024 season with a rollicking upset — capped by a 44-yard walk-off field goal from Aidan Birr. It also provided the empirical tipping point of Tech's burgeoning ambitions.
Key's signature win in his second year as Georgia Tech's full-time coach came out a former offensive lineman's fever dream. It was crafted with a grit that would make George O'Leary smile, featuring enough quarterback runs to make Paul Johnson wink.
More than anything, to see or to know that so many people now see Georgia Tech and the brand of football that we play, and it's not a gimmicky brand of football; it's real. It's hard-nosed.
The win on a misty Saturday at Aviva Stadium in the Aer Lingus Classic came thanks to deft execution of a game plan that produced 190 rushing yards, a game clock that ran like a podcast on 1.5x speed.
