Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse – Staff Predictions
Benjamin Tankersley
Georgia Tech wins 35-14.
I probably should be more worried about this game, but honestly, Cuse didn’t impress against a pretty bad Ohio team. As long as things are tightened up with penalties, I think Tech cruises to an easy victory. I expect the playbook to open up a little more, and as long as the defense can try to maintain McCord, they should be fine.

Georgia Tech wins 36-30.
Weird things happen when we play Syracuse. Last year was a good example where we should have run away with the game, but somehow Syracuse stayed in the game while using a Tight End at QB and basically repeatedly running the ball up the middle on us. This year Syracuse obviously has more talent to work with and we should expect them to put up a very tough fight. Tech needs to stay confident and focused throughout the game. If there’s a weird fumble or some bad flags and we get down early Tech cannot afford to get tilted. We have seen our Jackets stay in games before and come out with the win, I expect that to happen here. Simultaneously I expect to see a lot of shenanigans and to be way more stressed than I should be.

Tech winning by exactly the spread? Creative, I know. This is going to be the first real test of our secondary (DJ I think we can all say ain’t good) with Kyle McCord. Ohio may have been basically made of ghosts last week, but Cuse got a chance to fully run what they want to do, which isn’t helpful for us. They will score on us if they’re having anything close to a normal day. Every team will. The Buster Faulkner factor is what keeps me hopeful for this game. We very deliberately ran simple stuff last week and coasted over Georgia State and managed to get to a spot where the starters were out (albeit not as soon as we may have wanted but we don’t do the coaching). Tech has shown a consistent trait in preparing well and having a path to victory. With a little help from Aidan Birr’s leg, I think we get there again.

When I submitted the picks for the ACC Preseason player’s list I included LB Marlowe Wax and TE Oronde Gadsden for the respective positions. The problem for Syracuse is that Marlowe Wax was injured during the Ohio game and won’t return for some time. Last week against the Ohio Bobcats, Syracuse had serious trouble stopping the run game from an offense that only returned two starters from the year prior. They gave up over 200 yards to Ohio’s running back and without Wax being able to defend the center of the field Georgia Tech should have a great day running the ball.
Kyle McCord looked crisp from nice, clean pockets all game and Gadsden was a prime target as he had over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. WR Pena should be another target Tech should keep an eye on. However, many of the reception came with little pass rush and plenty of busted coverage from the Ohio secondary. I think Georgia Tech will present a big step up in talent level that Syracuse did not face in Week 1. I still believe Syracuse can move the ball fairly well but will be limited by how well Georgia Tech can maintain possession by running the ball.
The Georgia Public Service Commission this week approved a plan expected to reduce utility bills for Georgia Power customers by a few dollars a month.
The commission said the change will generate about $285 million in total annual savings for Georgia Power customers, or roughly $50 per year — about $4.04 per month — for the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month.
The Georgia PSC voted Thursday to lower overall rates as part of the approved plan.
Georgia Power Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Tyler Cook said the decision will provide “real savings for Georgia families and businesses as the heat of summer begins and energy use increases.”
“At Georgia Power, our teams work every day to run our business efficiently and keep reliable and affordable energy flowing to our customers,” Cook said.
Cook said the outcome followed months of work between Georgia Power and PSC staff, including reviews, public hearings and input from residents and intervenors.
The approved plan is tied to a stipulated agreement reached earlier this month involving two cases filed with the PSC in February, the Fuel Cost Recovery case and the Storm Cost Recovery case. Those cases addressed recovering fuel costs used to generate electricity and expenses tied to restoring power after storms.
Georgia Power said its rates remain, on average, about 15% below the national average and that it is still on track to provide additional annual savings of about $102 per year for typical residential customers beginning in 2029.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a stipulated agreement on Thursday to lower utility rates for Georgia Power customers starting June 1.
The regulatory body voted to pass the deal without changes, establishing how the utility can bill for fuel costs and storm damage restoration expenses.
State regulators approve rate cuts
What we know:
The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) voted 3-2 to reject several utility cost amendments before ultimately passing the overall deal. Under the approved agreement, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see monthly bills decrease by roughly $4.03 to $4.04. Total annual savings across all 2.8 million Georgia Power customers are projected to reach approximately $285 million.
The deal reduces how much money the utility can recover from its customer base for storm expenses by nearly 60%, dropping the revenue requirement from $270 million down to $109 million. The agreement also extends the amortization of storm recovery costs, largely tied to Hurricane Helene in 2024, to 67 months, caps natural gas advance purchases at 20% over a 36-month window, and cuts $13 million from the company’s original fuel recovery estimates.
Accountability questions remain unresolved
What we don’t know:
While the PSC agreed to launch a separate investigation into how fuel costs are allocated, officials have not yet confirmed how much large industrial operations will be forced to pay in future rate cases. Consumer advocacy groups argue that massive data center companies are driving up fuel costs for everyday ratepayers without paying for the infrastructure upgrades they require. Critics note that it remains unclear if a future utility asset structure will successfully shift financial burdens away from residential homes.
