As dramatic endings go, this is up there.

Unbeaten college football powerhouse Florida State were looking to keep their challenge for the play-offs on track last night against Georgia Tech but were stunned by one of the most thrilling final plays to a game in years.

With the scores tied at 16-16, FSU got within range of a long field goal to win, but Roberto Aguayo’s 56-yard attempt was blocked.

Rather than settle for overtime, Lance Austin picked the ball up and ended up taking it all the way to the house for a 78-yard game-winning touchdown, and holy crap, the Georgia Tech commentary team bloody loved it.
