Wow, what a comeback Georgia Tech 28 - Clemson 24 - Warning non-technical

I don't get into college football too much anymore (being that I am 37 and well out of school), except for when my team (Georgia Tech) plays.  I had watched and hoped that something good would happen.  When the score was Clemson 17 - GT 7 on a long Clemson run for a touchdown, I knew that all hope was lost.  Then, GT scored to cut it to Clemson 17 - GT 14.  Clemson came back and scored on another long run to make it Clemson 24 - GT 14.  Then, GT scored to make the score Clemson 24 - GT 21.  I figured that after GT messed up on the onside kick that the game was effectively over.  Then a series of miracles started.  On second down and 1, Clemson was stopped for no gain.  On third down, Clemson fumbled, but recoved with the result now being that it was fourth down and one.  Clemson ran the play clock down and took a five yard penalty for a delay of game.  On fourth down, the Clemson snapper, rolled the football by the kicker, who ran back recovered the ball and was buried by a couple of GT players.  With about 15 seconds to go, GT had the ball on the Clemson 11 yard line.  GT quarterback Reggie Ball thru an 11 yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson for the go ahead score.  That still wasn't the end of the game.  Due to a penalty for excessive celebration, and a 49 yeard kickoff return, Clemson had the ball on the GT 31 yard line with 3 seconds to go in the game.  A Charlie Whitehurst pass fell incomplete in the end zone as time expired.  And the miracle was complete..............
