Coach Prime will be in primetime on Friday, August 29, when Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes will kick off the 2025 college football season against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. It will be a high-stakes Boulder battle, with the Friday night lights shining bright and the cameras likely plentiful for the national broadcast coverage. 

Naturally, tickets have been flying for this season-opener. In fact, only about seven percent of tickets remained as of July 21. The Yellow Jackets opened as 3.5-point favorites, but anything can happen in a game that opened with an over/under at 56.5. Most sportsbooks like Tech to compete for the ACC crown, as Brent Key has a loaded roster with plenty of experience. 

The top catalysts for the Yellow Jackets include quarterback Haynes King, a popular breakout candidate, and stud running back Jamal Haynes. However, they might just be the tip of the iceberg for this stout offensive unit. Tech also has plenty of talent out wide and on the trenches.

The offensive line will need to be strong against Colorado’s vaunted pass-rush. Sanders always seems to get the most out of his defense, so the Buffaloes’ Week 1 effort against a tough opponent will be fascinating to watch. Replacing two-way superstar Travis Hunter will be difficult, but DJ McKinney and Preston Hodge are potentially-elite corners. And D-linemen Tawfiq Thomas and Samuel Okunlola should lead the charge at the point of attack. 

Colorado will also be replacing a big name on offense, after stud QB and coach’s son Shedeur Sanders has moved on to the Cleveland Browns. Former Liberty QB Kaidon Salter will likely take over the reigns, bringing with him the kind of dual-threat talent that could lead Colorado from most talked-about team to one of the most feared programs in the nation.
