Summary
A 75-yard touchdown march in the final minute lifted Colorado to a 14-13 season-opening upset, and a blocked Georgia Tech field-goal attempt sealed the one-point win.
Julian Lewis, a redshirt freshman making his first opener as starter, rebounded from a 6-for-14, 41-yard first half to finish 14-of-27 for 124 yards and the decisive touchdown.
Deion Sanders said he challenged Lewis at halftime in front of the team, then trusted him late with no timeouts as coordinator Brennan Marion called the winning play.
The victory gave Colorado its first win since Oct. 11, 2025 and a better start than last season, when the Buffaloes opened with a loss to Georgia Tech and finished 3-9.
