Colorado just pulled off one of the most insane finishes you’ll see in college football, absolutely stunning Georgia Tech 14-13 thanks to a late touchdown and an even crazier blocked field goal. For 58 minutes, Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis, that five-star kid from Carrolton, GA, just didn’t look ready for “Prime” Coach Deion Sanders, or even prime time at all. Good thing football games are 60 minutes, right?
Lewis’s Wild Comeback Drive
Lewis was absolutely struggling for most of Thursday night’s game, with only 64 passing yards to his name until that final, do-or-die drive. But when it counted, he flipped a switch. He marched the Buffaloes down the field for 60 yards, capping it off with just 37 seconds left on the clock. He found Charlie Williams on a beautiful 20-yard wheel route straight into the end zone. The PAT went through, giving Colorado a nail-biting 14-13 lead.
One Last Heart-Stopping Play
The drama wasn’t over. Georgia Tech somehow got the ball back, starting their last drive from the 25-yard line. On the very first play, Alberto Mendoza,yes, Heisman winner Fernando’s brother,broke off a massive 42-yard gain! That put the Yellow Jackets in position for a potential game-winning field goal. But the Buffaloes defense had other plans, blocking Aidan Burr’s 45-yard attempt as time expired to secure the victory. What a way to win a game!
