After three early turnovers had the Yellow Jackets on their heels, a fake pitch from Haynes King push Georgia Tech ahead of Colorado late for the win.

Colorado allowed 300 yards rushing once in 2024, in a loss at Kansas, but not since 2022 had it happened to the Buffaloes at Folsom Field when Utah rushed for 383. The 300-yard rushing game was the fourth of the Key era and 15th time the Jackets have rushed for at least 200 yards under Key.

Georgia Tech punt returner Eric Rivers wore what can only be described as a comically large jersey during the first quarter of Friday night’s game at Colorado. Rivers, who usually wears No. 3, had on a No.

With the season opener’s outcome not yet decided, Georgia Tech’s fake-toss run play worked as it always does. With the Colorado defense biting hard on quarterback Haynes King’s feint, King had the opening he needed to squeeze through the defensive line, break into the clear and run for the Yellow Jackets’ game-winning touchdown, a 45-yard dash.
