"King accounted for 413 yards of offense and five touchdowns Friday in a 44-42, eight-overtime loss at No. 7 Georgia. He completed 26 of 36 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 110 yards and three touchdowns."

King is the first player in college football history with 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns against a top-10 ranked opponent.
“He embodies what Georgia Tech football is,” Tech coach Brent Key said on 680 The Fan on Monday. “He is what this program is going to continue to be. When your quarterback, your best players, are also your most competitive players, you got something special.”

He ought to be national player of the week, but that’s run by the AP and they rarely acknowledge GA Tech exists.

Kyle McCord got the pick. King was even in the HM category after setting an NCAA record.

Great performance, but in his own words, let’s get the W.

Next year is gonna be IT!
We can only hope. If he stays around, with another year of maturity and experience, and restored health (such as off-season surgery?), he might be a Heisman contender himself.
