Colorado Buffaloes prepare for season opener against Georgia Tech

The Colorado Buffaloes football team is set to open their season against Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Following a 3-9 finish last year, head coach Deion Sanders faces scrutiny regarding the program's depth and long-term stability beyond key players like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.

Significant roster changes have occurred, including the addition of 66 new players and changes to the coaching staff. The quarterback position is a central focus, with reports identifying Ryan Staub and Julian Lewis as key figures in the offensive rotation. Lewis, who grew up near Atlanta, faces a high-profile homecoming as he seeks to prove his readiness in a road environment.

Colorado's success in this matchup will likely define the early narrative for the season. The team must address questions regarding their offensive line and rushing production, as they have struggled to produce consistent yardage in recent seasons.
