Episode Details

Georgia Tech’s season opener ended in a tough loss to Colorado, dropping them to 0-1 — their first opener defeat since 2023. While QB Alberto Mendoza had a clean, efficient debut throwing for 237 yards with no turnovers, and receiver Jordan Allen shined with 8 catches for 113 yards, the team’s struggles were glaring. The defense held Colorado’s pass game in check and recorded six tackles for loss, but special teams were a rollercoaster: Rahkeem Smith returned a kickoff 100 yards for a TD, but kicker Aidan Birr missed two key field goals — including a blocked potential game-winner. Run defense collapsed, surrendering 183 yards, and the offensive line was dominated, leading to just 51 rushing yards on 30 carries. Nine penalties and a lack of physicality hurt their chances. Next up: Tennessee at home Saturday night at 7 PM on ESPN — time to fix what went wrong.
