Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord is having an outstanding game against No. 23 Georgia Tech, leading the Orange to a 21-14 halftime lead in the JMA Wireless Dome.
The Yellow Jackets, who recently entered the AP Top 25 after an upset win over No. 10 Florida State and a victory against Georgia State, were favored by 2.5 points going into this ACC matchup.
In just 30 minutes of play, McCord has been highly efficient, completing 19 of 26 passes for 286 yards and throwing three touchdowns with zero interceptions. The former Ohio State Buckeye is performing exceptionally well.
Feeling confident, McCord even shared his thoughts on Georgia Tech after his opening touchdown drive. While you might need to be a good lip reader to catch his exact words, it’s clear his comments were not for polite company.

McCord’s Journey from Ohio State to Syracuse
Kyle McCord’s time at Ohio State was not smooth. After only one season as the starting quarterback, he decided to transfer when Will Howard committed to the Buckeyes via the transfer portal. McCord eventually joined Syracuse under first-year head coach Fran Brown.
The Orange kicked off the season with a 38-22 victory over Ohio and now lead the AP No. 23 team at halftime in what could become an ACC classic.
