Colorado dropped a winnable game on Friday night to open the 2025 season, coming up just short in a 27-20 loss to Georgia Tech. A tie game in the fourth quarter, a 45-yard touchdown run by Georgia Tech QB Haynes King gave the Yellow Jackets the lead for good, but it wasn't King's touchdown scamper in the 58th minute that did the Buffs in.
Colorado actually lost the game much earlier than that.
Georgia Tech turned the ball over on its first three drives of the game. Colorado mustered just seven points out of it - a touchdown pass from Kaidon Salter to Dekalon Taylor after the first turnover.
