DUBLIN — Avery Boyd, Chase Lane and Malik Rutherford stepped in front of their Georgia Tech teammates, who were passing around the Aer Lingus College Football Classic trophy, and decided to let loose.
There was one dance fitting for the moment: an Irish jig.
The trio of receivers delivered. It was their second perfect performance of the day at Aviva Stadium.
Aidan Birr made a 44-yard field goal as time expired, and the Yellow Jackets upset No. 10 Florida State 24-21 on Saturday in an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup and the opening game of college football’s 2024 season.
The win was Georgia Tech’s first over a top-10 opponent in the Associated Press poll since a 22-16 victory over the same program in October 2015.
