College football continues to amaze this season. Whether it’s the BYU Hail Mary’s or the Michigan State miracle win over Michigan, we’ve had some amazing games in the 2015 campaign. And the finish to the Florida State at Georgia Tech game certainly can hold its own as one of the best of the year.

As Florida State was lining up to kick a winning 56-yard field goal to extend its 28-game ACC winning streak, Georgia Tech blocked it. Defensive back Lance Austin ran back to pick up the ball and instead of falling on it and get the team ready for overtime, he ran it all the way to the house for a win over the Seminoles, 22-16.

We have two of the calls from the game. First, here’s Brandon Gaudin’s call from the Georgia Tech IMG Sports Network who has branded the play, “The Miracle on Techwood Drive.”

But the best call comes from ESPN2’s Mark Jones who brought out a classic line after Austin scored. Enjoy.

“YOU CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!” Definitely one of the best calls this season.
