Georgia Tech responded fiercely in the second quarter, scoring 13 points and limiting Colorado to just a field goal by Alejandro Mata. Despite efforts from players like Quency Wiggins who recorded a sack, the Buffs struggled to contain Tech's offense.


Third Quarter


Both teams exchanged field goals in a tightly contested third quarter. Mata once again showcased his kicking prowess with another successful attempt for Colorado. However, Georgia Tech managed to edge ahead slightly by adding another touchdown to their tally.


Fourth Quarter


In an intense final quarter, both teams scored touchdowns but it was not enough for the Buffs to close the gap. DJ McKinney's interception highlighted Colorado's defensive efforts as they tried valiantly to turn things around.
