The Utes (8-5) tied it in regulation when Jon Hays hit DeVonte Christopher with a 28-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-14 with 1:32 left in the fourth quarter.
The Yellow Jackets drove to the Utah 31 with 2 seconds left, but David Scully missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt as time expired.
Hays went 15 for 31 for 193 yards.
Georgia Tech's Preston Lyons, who came in with only 39 carries, rushed for a career-best 140 yards on 18 carries and Tevin Washington passed for 137 yards and ran for 97.
