Aidan Birr's 23-yard field goal with 14 seconds left lifted No. 16 Georgia Tech to a 36-34 win over host Boston College in Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game at Chestnut Hilll, Mass.
After Turbo Richard's 43-yard touchdown run flipped the score back Boston College's way with 4:09 left, the Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1) put together a 13-play, 69-yard drive in the next 3:58 to win the game.
Haynes King was 26-of-34 for 371 yards and a touchdown while leading Tech, which had a 628-537 advantage in total yardage. Eric Rivers (119 yards) and Malik Rutherford (121 yards, one touchdown) were his top targets, while Malachi Hosley rushed for 107 yards and a score.
Dylan Lonergan threw for 362 yards for Boston College (1-10, 0-7), including 142 to Reed Harris. Turbo Richard rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.
Lewis Bond finished with eight catches for 106 yards, becoming Boston College's single-season and career receptions leader during the game.
Georgia Tech had erased a 28-17 deficit with three consecutive third-quarter scores, beginning with a 26-yard Burr field goal. After forcing a 3rd-and-9 incompletion to get the ball back, Eric Rivers caught King's 35-yard ball to set up a Jamal Haynes 2-yard rushing score, but a 2-point attempt to tie failed.
Following a 3-and-out, the visitors needed one score -- Jordan Allen's 54-yard scamper up the sideline and a PAT -- to take a 33-28 lead with 6:14 left.
The Eagles were not done. After Lonergan found Jeremiah Franklin on a 3rd-and-19 play to extend the drive, Richard broke off a 43-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left to flip the score again. The 2-point attempt failed.
Georgia Tech scored first on Hosley's 27-yard touchdown with 4:59 left in the first quarter.
Boston College then logged an 11-play, 75-yard drive over 5:40, tying the game after Richard's 1-yard touchdown on 4th down in the opening minute of the second quarter. He also broke free for a 42-yard run earlier in the drive.
After King aired out a 48-yard pass during the ensuing series, the Eagles were unable to turn Bryce Steele's fumble recovery into points. However, Rutherford broke a tackle for a 71-yard touchdown run to flip the score back Georgia Tech's way with 9:44 left in the second.
Lonergan led a 10-play, 93-yard drive -- including Bond's career milestone grab -- in just 1:04 to tie the game at 14-14 late in the first half. The Alabama transfer connected with Harris three times before Kaelan Chudzinski's 3-yard touchdown.
Early in the third, a big run into the red zone by Richard helped set up Jordan McDonald's 14-yard run to give Boston College a 21-14 lead.
Redeeming himself for a 49-yard miss at the end of the first half, Birr kicked a 34-yarder to cap a 14-play drive with 4:35 left in the third.
The Eagles extended their lead as Harris broke multiple tackles on a 32-yard catch-and-run before the third quarter expired. On the other side of the break, a red-zone stand forced Birr to come on for a 26-yard field goal.
