Social Media Reacts to Georgia Tech's Bowl Win Over UCF

In this story:
What a night it was for Georgia Tech Football.
UCF went up 14-0 and then 17-3 and were dominating the game. Known for their run game, UCF was finding a lot of success early through the air and the Yellow Jackets were having a hard time covering them.
UCF made a few mistakes and Georgia Tech took full advantage. A fumble, a dropped touchdown, and a missed field goal kept Georgia Tech in the game and then they learned on their running game in the second half to salt the game away. It is the program's first bowl win since defeating Kentucky in the 2016 Gator Bowl and Brent Key finishes his first full season as the head coach of his alma mater with a 7-6 record and a lot of momentum going into 2024.
There was a lot of social media reaction to the win for the Yellow Jackets and this is a program that has a lot of momentum right now. Here are some of the best reactions from social media tonight.
The Georgia Tech rushing attack CARRIED them in their bowl win over UCF.
