Sept 3, 2026 – In the opening week of the 2026 college football season, Colorado traveled to Atlanta for the Thursday Week 1 matchup and edged Georgia Tech 14‑13. The Buffaloes opened the year 1‑0, while the Yellow Jackets logged their first result of the season in a tightly contested showdown, and set the tone for the conference race. Julian Lewis scored the decisive touchdown late in the fourth quarter, turning a tied game into a Colorado lead. Moments later, Georgia Tech’s attempt at a walk‑off field goal was thwarted when Boo Carter penetrated the line and blocked the kick, a play highlighted by ESPN and CBS News. NBC Sports called the outcome a last‑second win, underscoring the dramatic timing of the block.

Yahoo Sports described the contest as a “sloppy play” affair that ultimately became a comeback victory for the Buffaloes. AJC.com noted that Georgia Tech “flubbed” its opener, describing the performance as weak where it should have been strong. The New York Times quoted Deion Sanders saying he “doesn’t rate moments,” even as NBC Sports and CBS News reported Colorado’s last‑second win. Yahoo Sports also warned that “questions linger” about Colorado’s overall play. Before kickoff, prediction columns from CBS Sports, Covers.com and betting platforms such as Kalshi, Polymarket and Underdog laid out odds and pick strategies for the Thursday matchup.

After the upset, those outlets updated their models, publishing revised parlay recommendations and adjusting Colorado’s projected win probability in their Week 1 analysis. Looking ahead, Colorado’s next opponent will test whether the Buffaloes can sustain the momentum, while Georgia Tech prepares for upcoming games wearing its new Under Armour special‑edition jerseys, as announced on its official site. Analysts will monitor shifting betting lines and the reaction to Sanders’ return to Atlanta, noted by the Denver Gazette, to gauge how the early upset reshapes each program’s trajectory in the 2026 season.
