In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, we break down the wild rollercoaster that was Georgia Tech vs Colorado — a game that featured three Colorado takeaways in the first 10 minutes… and somehow, a Georgia Tech win. The spotlight? Squarely on Haynes King, who put up 156 yards rushing, 140 passing, and three total touchdowns, including the game-sealing 45-yard QB counter. The dude even took a shot below the belt and kept cooking.
We dissect how Georgia Tech overcame a nightmare start — two fumbles and an interception — and still dominated Colorado on the ground to the tune of 320 rushing yards and 460 total yards. Meanwhile, Colorado’s offense under new QB Salter showed flashes late, but simply didn’t capitalize early, scoring just 7 points off those three early turnovers.
We question Deion Sanders’ conservative call on 4th down, dig into Colorado’s improved but still shaky run game, and explain why this loss may not derail their Big 12 or playoff hopes — but it does expose some real issues.
On the other side, Georgia Tech might be an ACC dark horse. Between King’s toughness, Jamal Haynes’ consistency, and that O-line, this team looks built to grind teams into the dirt.
