Although the bookmakers are doubtful, Deion Sanders is confidently facing the 2025 season. After a solid 9-4 season and its return to the Big 12, Colorado is considered the underdog at home.

Their rival is a tough team that nearly beat the SEC champions in an eight-overtime game and has a quarterback who has accumulated more than 6,500 college yards. This matchup could be Sanders's biggest challenge this year.

Haynes King, Georgia Tech's versatile quarterback, racked up 2,701 yards last season and has 51 touchdowns in his career. In an intense eight-overtime duel against Georgia, King had more than 300 yards and three rushing touchdowns. However, Georgia won 44-42 thanks to a two-point conversion in the final overtime, preventing a historic victory for Tech.

King poses a significant threat to Colorado

Colorado enters the season with many questions following the departures of key figures such as Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. New talents Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis are still settling in.

That's why they open at home with a 3.5-point deficit against a strong Georgia Tech team that is in great shape and has its best players ready to go.

This game is not just a dress rehearsal but a true test that could define Prime's team's fate.

Despite being knocked down 28 times, Haynes King got up with determination and continues to show his grit. His 6,535 total yards include 62 touchdowns and a 63.8% completion rate. Without question, he is an impressive player.

Colorado has improved its defense with Robert Livingston and new reinforcements, but stopping Haynes King remains a challenge. King is fast and smart and turns mistakes into big plays. His legs are his biggest threat, with 587 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech takes advantage of any mistake to advance.

The Colorado vs. Georgia game promises to be wild. No college football fan will want to miss it, and August 29 is already marked on the experts' calendars.
