The Jackets were tasked with taking on the ninth-ranked Florida State Seminoles for the 2015 Edition of Homecoming on The Flats. This one was insane.
White out conditions Saturday night. Show up. We have a chance to get revenge and spoil a season. #TogetherWeSwarm

The first quarter went back and forth. Each team would put 3 on the board with great kicks from Butker and Aguayo.
C'mon tech you got this! End the losing streak with a win against FSU #togetherweswarm

But, Justin Thomas would keep us in the game with some huge plays late in the half.
From his own end zone, Thomas finds Jeune for 33 yards! #TogetherWeSwarm #FSUvsGT

They would have another shot to seal the deal later, but our defense remained as stingy as they had been all night.
