2008 BC game is underrated in my opinion. First ACC game for CPJ, on the road in Chestnut Hill, with 3 lost fumbles in the game. Down 6 going into the 4th quarter, we sack the BC quarterback for a safety and Dwyer scores on a long run 4 plays later to win 19-16. One forgotten key to that win was Paul calling a timeout just before the BC kicker made a field goal to end the 1st half. On the second attempt their kicker missed it, and that 3 point swing ended up being the difference in the game.

Another memorable game against BC was the 2016 game in Ireland, which is one of my favorite Tech games ever. Just when it looked like all hope was lost, down 10-14 with less than 3 minutes left in the game, Justin Thomas completes a 22 yard pass to Qua Searcy on 4th & 19 to extend the drive and true freshman Dedrick Mills finishes it off for the winning score. The whole trip was unforgettable, but that win was definitely the cherry on top.

13. Miami 2014

It’s amazing how many great games there were and how unappreciated so many still are in spite of it.

My #1 was uga 2008. We were down so big just before halftime it wasn’t looking pretty. Then we scored and when the 2nd half started we just kept on scoring. The game got out of hand for them and the final score made it look closer than it really was.

Only the 2nd beat down I’ve seen us put on the mutts in person, I watched 1990 on tv. I’ve seen some great GT football and a lot of that great occurred under CPJ and O’Leary.
