Quick Summary

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.
