Colorado beat Georgia Tech 14-13 on Thursday night in Atlanta after blocking a 45-yard field-goal attempt as time expired. Freshman quarterback Julian Lewis led the decisive late drive that put the Buffaloes in front.
Lewis guided a two-minute march that set up Colorado's go-ahead score, according to ESPN. Georgia Tech then had one last chance to win it with a kick, but Colorado's special teams got a hand on the attempt.
The result gave Colorado an early non-conference road win against a Georgia Tech team that had been expected to test the Buffaloes. CBS Sports had framed the matchup as an important game for Deion Sanders' team as it looked to rebound from last season.
The game was played Thursday night in Atlanta, where Colorado held on after the blocked kick. Georgia Tech's final try from 45 yards came as the clock ran out.
