Boston College alumnus Joe Tessitore was on the call alongside Jesse Palmer and Katie George for the Week 0 game against Georgia Tech and No. 10 Florida State at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. 

During the broadcast, Tessitore had multiple moments that went viral on social media including drinking a Guinness at halftime, handing a Guinness to an ESPN cameraman, and called the game-winning play. 

Georgia Tech defeated Florida State 24-21 after kicking a 44-yard field goal as time expired to pull the first upset of the year. 

“They found themselves a pot of gold at the end of their Irish rainbow,” said Tessitore during the call. “No. 10 goes down in Dublin. Welcome back to college football.”
