  "account": "Week 1 of college football kicks off with several high-profile matchups, including a key game between Colorado and Georgia Tech headlined by Coach Prime and new Buffs coach Deion Sanders. The Colorado Buffaloes are returning from a disappointing 3-9 season last year, with Sanders now in his fourth season at the helm. The team boasts quarterback Julian Lewis as its starter and defensive coordinator Brennan Marion as their new offensive coordinator. The Buffs' defense has undergone a significant overhaul following a trend of allowing over 30 points per game in 2025.\n\nOn the other side of the field, Georgia Tech introduces Alberto Mendoza, who transferred from Indiana and will partner with former Michigan running back Justice Haynes in the backfield. The game between Colorado and Georgia Tech is scheduled to air on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night. Other notable games that night include UMass vs. Rutgers at 6 p.m. ET on BTN, Bethune-Cookman vs. UCF at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+, Akron vs. Wake Forest at 7 p.m. ET on ACCN, Missouri vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 8 p.m. ET on SECN, Eastern Illinois vs. Minnesota at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock, and UAB vs. Illinois at 9 p.m. ET on BTN.",
