Georgia Tech edged out Colorado 27-20 in a thrilling season opener. Haynes King led Georgia Tech with 156 rushing yards and three touchdowns, overcoming a shaky start with two fumbles and an interception. Colorado, despite being outgained, almost snatched victory in the final seconds. Deion Sanders, Colorado's coach, acknowledged their missed opportunities. The game marked the first meeting between these two teams, famously linked by a shared 1990 national championship. Colorado's rebuilding process, after significant player losses to the NFL, is evident.
