Colorado Buffaloes Struggle in Opening Game Against Georgia Tech
The Colorado Buffaloes kicked off their 2025 season on Friday night, but it was not a night to remember for the Buffaloes' offense. Shedeur Sanders, a key member of the team, was absent from the game, leaving a noticeable gap in the offense.
Byron Leftwich, the quarterbacks coach for the University of Colorado football team, was present on the sideline, warming up as he usually does. Leftwich joined the staff in 2025 to assist with the team's quarterbacks, but his presence could not prevent the Colorado offense from struggling.
The game had a similar feel to a Baylor game from 2024, with the Colorado offense, under Pat Shurmur's direction, resembling a pencil with no lead. The Buffaloes attempted two Hail Mary passes, but both were incomplete, adding to their woes.
Despite the struggles, the game did not have the dramatic turnaround or comeback that some Baylor games in 2024 were known for. The outcome of the game saw the Yellow Jackets emerging victorious, leaving the Buffaloes to regroup and prepare for their next match.
The specific score of the game was not mentioned, but it is clear that the Colorado offense will need to find a way to improve if they are to compete at the highest level. With Byron Leftwich on board and a new season ahead, there is still hope for the Buffaloes to turn their fortunes around.
