Deion Sanders' highly anticipated Colorado Buffaloes season opener against Georgia Tech ended in a 27-20 loss. Despite Georgia Tech's early turnovers, Colorado struggled to capitalize. New quarterback Kaidon Salter performed decently, but Georgia Tech's Haynes King excelled, rushing for a career-high 156 yards and three touchdowns. Colorado's new-look team, missing key players from last season, faced a tough challenge in their first game under Sanders' leadership. The game was close throughout, with several lead changes, but ultimately Georgia Tech secured the victory.
