One Georgia Tech fan went from being overly excited about the team’s defeat of the Miami Hurricanes to needing medical help seconds after he rushed the field.
The Hurricanes lost 28-23 to Georgia Tech on Saturday, giving them their first loss of the year.
The Miami Hurricanes’ spot in the College Football Playoff ranking took a hit after their upset loss, but one fan from the other side also took a bit of a hit.
Released footage showed thousands of Yellow Jacket fans jumping down from the stands to rush to the field at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field to celebrate.
Unfortunately, one Georgia Tech fan took a wrong turn and collided with No. 75 of the Miami Hurricanes.
No. 75 never broke stride as he made his way to the locker room.
The young man, however, could be seen in intense pain on the ground.

A look at the roster shows that No. 75 is offensive lineman Frankie Tinilau, who is 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds. The Miami Hurricanes redshirt freshman is from Brisbane, Australia, so you know he is built like a brick wall.
He has not spoken out, nor has anyone from the team regarding the incident.
There is no word on whether the fan needed medical help or he just had the wind knocked out of him.
