Georgia Tech defeated Colorado 27–20 in a one-score game. Georgia Tech covered by 3.0; Game went Under by 8.5. The market closed at Georgia Tech -4.0 and the Blue Chip model made it Georgia Tech -6.9, an edge of 2.9 points toward Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech committed three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception) on their first three possessions, a stark contrast to their 10 total turnovers in the entire previous season. This sloppiness nearly cost them the game and is a major area for improvement.
The Yellow Jackets rushed for 320 yards, led by quarterback Haynes King's 156 yards and three touchdowns. This ground game was the key difference-maker, especially on the game-winning drive where King carried four times for 45 yards.
King finished with 156 rushing yards and three TDs, plus 143 passing yards. He settled the offense after the early turnovers and delivered a 45-yard game-winning touchdown run with 1:07 left, drawing praise from Colorado's coach as a Heisman candidate.
Georgia Tech's defense held Colorado to a Hail Mary attempt that was batted down in the end zone, securing the win. They limited the Buffaloes to 305 total yards and forced a key stop after Colorado tied the game.
This was Georgia Tech's first regular-season victory in the Mountain time zone since 1978 (at Air Force). The win provides momentum as they prepare to host Gardner-Webb on Sept. 6.
