Colorado football visits Georgia Tech for the 2026 season opener

Summary

Colorado football meets Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Thursday night to open the 2026 season. Georgia Tech holds a 1-0 lead in the all-time series following a 27-20 victory over Colorado at Folsom Field on August 29, 2025. During that previous meeting, Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King rushed for 156 yards and three touchdowns, including a 45-yard scoring run in the final quarter. The Buffaloes look to address defensive issues after Georgia Tech recorded 320 rushing yards in their last encounter. This game marks the third season for Deion Sanders at the helm of the Colorado program. The two schools previously shared a national championship debate following the 1990 season, though they did not face one another that year.
