Colorado vs. Georgia Tech live updates: Score, highlights and analysis

Colorado football kicked off its 2026 season with a road game against ACC rival Georgia Tech. The teams clashed last year, with the Yellow Jackets emerging victorious in a late-season encounter at Boulder. Deion Sanders' Buffaloes aim for a contrasting result this time around, buoyed by significant changes across the roster. Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion leads a team that has absorbed over 40 transfers, while redshirt freshman quarterback Julian Lewis, a high school prodigy and five-star recruit, returns to Colorado's home turf.

Lewis will be supported by a roster brimming with skill, including Texas transfer wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. and key additions Danny Scudero, Kam Perry, and Joseph Williams. Chris Marve will officially assume the role of defensive coordinator, bringing a completely new defense to the lineup. Deion Sanders is chasing his third season-opening triumph in four years with the Buffaloes, as last year's defeat to Georgia Tech remains the sole setback.

Follow the game for real-time highlights, injury updates, key plays, and detailed breakdowns as the Buffaloes take on the Yellow Jackets in an intriguing nonconference matchup. The live broadcast will air on ESPN and stream on Fubo and the ESPN app, with a sellout crowd anticipated at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta.
