The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets may have lost a heartbreaker to the No. 25 Tennessee Volunteers, but it was a loss quarterback TaQuon Marshall is not likely to forget.

The junior put on a record-breaking show Monday night in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game -- a 42-41 double overtime loss. Marshall rushed for 249 yards and five touchdowns on 44 carries. His yardage is the most ever by a Georgia Tech quarterback, while his touchdowns and attempts are the most ever by a Yellow Jacket player.

Relive all five of Marshall's scores from Monday night's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium:

Marshall takes it in from 1-yard out to open the scoring with 6 seconds left in the first quarter.

Marshall extends Tech’s lead on another 1-yard keeper early in the third quarter.

Marshall bounces it outside and dives for the pylon to put the Yellow Jackets up 28-14 with 13:08 left in the fourth quarter.

Marshall opens up the scoring in overtime with his third, 1-yard touchdown run of the evening.

Marshall gets shifty in double overtime as he eldues a couple of defenders for a 13-yard touchdown scamper.
