Boo Carter's game-saving field goal block led Colorado to a 14-13 road win over Georgia Tech on Thursday night in Atlanta. The winning score was set up by quarterback Julian Lewis' 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Charlie Williams with 37 seconds remaining, breaking a scoring drought for the Buffaloes that lasted into the fourth quarter. Colorado's dominant run game, led by new offensive coordinator Breanna Marion, saw them outrush Georgia Tech 183-51 but struggled to convert those yards into points. The win marks a promising start for Deion Sanders' team, which went 3-9 last season.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
