Haynes King scrambled to his right, looking desperately for someone — anyone — who might be open for Georgia Tech. Just when it looked as if he was all out of time, Brett Seither suddenly appeared in the back corner of the end zone.

King hurled the ball toward his big tight end.

Seither made the leaping catch while somehow grazing the turf with the tip of his left cleat before tumbling out of bounds.
