Overview

  • E.J. Lightsey intercepted Robby Ashford’s two-point pass in overtime to clinch a 30-29 win for No. 16 Georgia Tech.
  • The ACC said officials missed a defensive offside on Wake Forest’s third-and-5 with under two minutes left, a penalty that likely would have produced a first down and allowed the Demon Deacons to drain the clock.
  • Georgia Tech rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit behind quarterback Haynes King’s 243 passing yards, 106 rushing yards and three total touchdowns.
  • Aidan Birr forced overtime with a 33-yard field goal with two seconds remaining after the non-call kept Georgia Tech’s hopes alive.
  • Demond Claiborne rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns for Wake Forest, which fell to 2-2, while Georgia Tech improved to 5-0 and heads into a bye before hosting Virginia Tech; Wake visits Virginia Tech on Oct. 4.
