Colorado and Georgia Tech meet in Atlanta for non-conference football matchup

The Colorado Buffaloes and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets face off Thursday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. This meeting marks only the second encounter between the two programs, following a 2025 game where Georgia Tech earned a 27-20 victory behind 156 rushing yards from Haynes King. Colorado enters the matchup with a rebuilt roster under coach Deion Sanders, featuring redshirt freshman quarterback Julian Lewis. Conversely, Georgia Tech will utilize quarterback Alberto Mendoza for the game. The matchup brings together two programs that both maintain claims to the 1990 national championship, a title that remains a point of contention between the schools despite them not facing each other that season. This Thursday night contest serves as the second leg of a home-and-home series that began last year in Boulder.
