Georgia Tech's football season kicks off on Thursday, September 3 against Colorado, finishing the home & home series that began last year out in Boulder with a 27-20 win for the Jackets. Last year's was the first between the schools, retroactively becoming the 1990 National Championship Game as the two schools did not actually play in 1990 when chasing the national ***** le.
Both teams will look quite different this time around. Of course on Tech's side, the offense has new leadership between offensive coordinator George Godsey and new starting quarterback Alberto Mendoza. For Colorado, they bring back Carrollton, GA native Julian Lewis at quarterback, who did not play in last year's game in favor of Kaidon Salter. Lewis only played in four games late year, completing 55% of his passes and throwing for 299 yards in a start against West Virginia.
On the whole, Colorado is not predicted to be competitive in the Big 12 with predictions around the college preview woorld putting them at around 3-4 wins. Deion Sanders' team is in a full rebuild after version 1.0 of his Buffaloes with Travis Hunter playing both ways and Shedeur Sanders at QB (who both for some reason got their uniform numbers retired immediately after graduating).
Last month at Big 12 media days, Lewis noted to what I can ***** ume was a very startled audience that in 2025, Lewis didn't really plan for defenses.
"My play, I'm actually looking at the defenses now. Last year, we wasn't really looking at defenses much, just kind of high school free-balling, just out there playing football. But it's a lot bigger than that now, so it should be fun."
