ESPN RECAP

Colorado QB Julian Lewis leads touchdown drive with 42 seconds left in 14-13 win over Georgia Tech

ATLANTA -- , Colorado freshman quarterback Julian Lewis hit tight end Charlie Williams for a 20-yard touchdown with 42 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, lifting the Buffaloes to a last-minute, 14-13 win against Georgia Tech on Thursday night in the season opener. Georgia Tech looked like it could pull off the improbable when quarterback Alberto Mendoza found receiver Dalen Penson for a 42-yard gain, putting the Yellow Jackets in field goal range. But Boo Carter blocked Aidan Birr 's 45-yard attempt, and the Buffaloes stormed the field. Coach Deion Sanders said his team, despite trailing all second half, never lost hope. “If you'd know how many linemen grabbed me and said ‘I told y'all we got this, I told you we got this coach,'" Sanders said.
