The season doesn’t officially begin until Thursday, Aug. 29, but we don’t have to wait until then to get our first actual games of the season. Saturday’s slate includes four games involving six FBS teams. Here’s a look at what’s on tap for the unofficial first weekend of the season.
The Seminoles are trying to get on the board before halftime. We’re just under the two-minute mark and they have the ball at their own 30.
Georgia Tech 14, Florida State 11
QB Haynes King did a lot of legwork on that drive on the ground, but it’s Jamal Haynes that pushes his way into the end zone for the TD and the lead.
GT is moving the ball once again with chunk plays. They’re now into FSU’s red zone with a chance to take the lead.

Georgia Tech just bailed out FSU with a facemask penalty on third down and now the Seminoles are in GT territory.
Georgia Tech can’t do anything with the possession and punts it back to FSU.

Zach Pyron hammers into the end zone to cap off a 6-play, 79-yard drive. Game on!
Georgia Tech has marched right down the field in response. Haynes King passed to Malik Rutherford for a 42-yard chunk play, but the Yellow Jackets are moving the ball with ease.
Florida State 8, Georgia Tech 0
