Coach Prime's Atlanta Curse: Can Buffs Break It?
1 Sep
Summary
- Colorado Buffaloes face Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Thursday.
- Last year, Georgia Tech's rushing attack dominated the Buffs.
- Deion Sanders aims for his first win in Atlanta.
The Colorado Buffaloes are set to begin their 2025 season on Thursday against Georgia Tech in Atlanta, a city where Coach Prime has yet to secure a victory. This matchup also serves as an opportunity for the Buffaloes to address concerns about their team's size against Power Four opponents.
Last season, Georgia Tech's formidable rushing attack proved too much for Colorado, amassing 320 yards and contributing to a 27-20 victory for the Yellow Jackets. Former Tech quarterback Haynes King was instrumental, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. This year, the Buffs' defense must contend with dynamic additions like running back Justice Haynes, known for his toughness and ability to score from anywhere.
Colorado's 'Go-Go' offense, under Brennan Marion, plans to leverage speed and create mismatches against Georgia Tech's defense. Coach Prime has implemented significant changes to his team's routine, adjusting practice times and sleep schedules, aiming to reverse fortunes in Atlanta. A season-opening win here would not only mark a personal milestone for Sanders but also set a positive tone for the Buffaloes' upcoming campaign.
