12:41 pm: A 6-yard loss to Georgia Tech running back Jamal Haynes on first down hampered a potential Yellow Jackets advance. Haynes King gained six yards on third down and the GT punted the ball for the first time. FSU starts at its own 25.

12:35 p.m.: Lawrance Toafili is tackled on fourth-and-4 just before the first down marker as the Yellow Jackets take over at their own 31. FSU moved the ball again but could not convert on a fourth down attempt in Georgia Tech territory.

12:25 p.m.: Georgia Tech quickly responded with a touchdown of its own on a keeper by backup QB Zach Pyron. Malik Rutherford had the biggest play of the drive, a 42-yard catch-and-run from Haynes King. The Jackets opted for the extra point kick and it was a good one.

12:14 pm: Lawrance Toafali scores the first point of the college football season with a 28-yard touchdown run.

FSU loves trick plays and uses them early in the season opener.

12:07 pm: Florida State calls tails and loses the coin toss. Georgia Tech elects to defer and FSU gets the ball first.

Predictions for Florida State vs. Georgia Tech

Liam Rooney, Democrat from Tallahassee: Florida State 27, Georgia Tech 17

“Uiagalelei picks up his first win as FSU’s quarterback, leading a steady performance by the Seminoles as the team returns home from Ireland with a 10-point victory over Georgia Tech.”

Bill Bender, The Sporting News: Florida State 31, Georgia Tech 27

“King will keep it tight, but a late turnover prevents Georgia Tech from really catching up in the fourth quarter. The Yellow Jackets were 7-2 (against the spread) as an underdog last season, and we’ll trust that trend against a tricky matchup. We just hope we can avoid a late Seminoles score here to get the win.”

CBS Sports Staff: Back Georgia Tech

“One of Casale’s top picks for the 0 college football season: He’s backing Georgia Tech (+11.5) over FSU. The Seminoles are coming off an incredible season that ended tragically when starting quarterback Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending knee injury in a regular-season loss to Florida. They beat Louisville to win the ACC title, but the committee ultimately admitted that Travis’ injury was a deciding factor when they decided to eliminate Florida State from the CFP.“

Collin Wilson, Action Network: Choose Florida State

“While the Seminoles are certainly the best bet, injuries and suspensions in the first half could impact the market. Florida State has a massive edge in the mound and will be a solid bet at -11 or better.“
