How Deion Sanders and Colorado overcame sloppy play to eke out crucial win over Georgia Tech — 'Just damn violence'

ATLANTA — After Deion Sanders left the field with his son Shedeur, and the Colorado players celebrated with their families, the Buffaloes' coach sat in a room with stubble and a trucker hat. Despite knowing Coach Prime's reputation, the team's victory over Georgia Tech was not a spectacle but a testament to on-field performance.

Colorado blocked a crucial 45-yard field goal to win 14-13, marking their first win of the season. Coach Sanders emphasized the importance of the win for his young players, stating, "This is a big win for these kids, man." The Buffaloes' dominance stemmed from their superior performance on both sides of the ball, particularly their strong run game and ability to disrupt Georgia Tech's offensive line.

Quarterback Julian Lewis led the team with a crucial 75-yard drive in the final minutes. Despite three major special teams errors, the Buffaloes remained resilient, proving they were more than just a flashy team. Coach Prime expressed faith in his young men, acknowledging their toughness and determination. Coming into the season, Colorado was a team with potential but lacking in star power.

However, this win showcased their growth into a formidable football program, capable of competing against well-established opponents without relying on hype.
