Georgia Tech Tops Syracuse 41-16, Now 8-0

Georgia Tech beat Syracuse 41-16 in Saturday's homecoming game at Bobby Dodd Stadium, improving to 8-0 — the program's first 8-0 start since 1966 and its first home game as a top-10 team since 2009. Senior quarterback Haynes King threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 91 yards and two scores, while running back Malachi Hosley added 81 rushing yards. After an early Syracuse field goal following a Georgia Tech fumble, the Yellow Jackets answered with a 20-point second-quarter burst and held Syracuse to its lowest point total in ACC play this season. The victory gives Georgia Tech its first 5-0 start in ACC play in program history. Syracuse fell to 3-5, was hampered by injuries at quarterback, and will look to regroup under coach Fran Brown. Georgia Tech will travel to Raleigh to face NC State before its next bye.
