Stanford Erases a 10-point Hole to Beat Georgia Tech
Stanford trailed 20-10 late in the second quarter, then scored 24 straight points and won 34-27. Georgia Tech had one answer left and it was a touchdown, not a tie.
The Yellow Jackets looked like the winner for a while. Aidan Birr kicked two field goals, Alberto Mendoza hit Trelain Maddox from 9 yards, and Maddox ran one in from 20 with 3:14 left before the break to make it 20-10. Stanford had a 7-yard Micah Ford touchdown run and a Kenney field goal to its name, and that was it.
Then Davis Warren got going. Emmet Kenney kicked a 24-yard field goal, Warren connected with Caden High on a 49-yarder to tie it at 20, and a 33-yard touchdown to Nico Brown with four seconds left in the third quarter made it 27-20. High added a 7-yard score early in the fourth and it was 34-20. Mendoza found Jaiven Plummer from 23 yards out to cut it to seven with 9:11 left, and the scoring ended there.
Stanford threw for 396 yards and ran for 88, with no turnovers. Georgia Tech had 431 total yards, one interception and one lost fumble. Take away the two giveaways and I will not claim it changes the result, but it makes it a game.
Stanford is 2-2. Georgia Tech falls to 1-3.
Fantasy takeaway: Warren and High both had their best games of the season.
