A Georgia Tech football fan hoping to enjoy the Yellow Jackets’ upset victory over then-fourth-ranked Miami was left lying in agony after a collision with a Hurricanes’ offensive tackle.
While fans jumped from the stands and onto the turf at Bobby Dodd Stadium, the unidentified fan inadvertently ran into 6-foot-6, 325-pound Frankie Tinilau.
Tinilau does not break stride and appeared to barely fell the impact from the fan. Meanwhile, the Georgia Tech supporter leaves his feet upon impact and falls back-first onto the turf.
When the video continues, the fan is not moving and looks to be in serious pain, gasping for air.
Tinilau did not come back to check on the fan, as field stormers are technically trespassing, which leads to massive fines for their schools. No update as been provided on the fan publicly.

After the harsh collision, the fan did not move on the turf and appeared to be in a lot of pain
Of the people running to join the celebrations at midfield, none seem concerned with the fans’ condition.
It was the biggest win for Georgia Tech football in around a decade, with things looking up for the Atlanta ACC program for the first time in several years.
It was a game with a few nasty collisions, as earlier in the game, Georgia Tech’s Trey Cooley had his helmet knocked off on a hit from Miami defensive lineman Ahmad Moten Sr.
Moten was ejected from the game for targeting and Cooley returned to the contest a few plays later.
Georgia Tech’s win was the latest of the continuing trend of massive field stormings this season in college football.
After Arkansas’ win over then No 4 Tennessee last month, a Volunteers offensive lineman pushed a Razorbacks supporter to the turf in Fayetteville.
