Football Falls Short in Heartbreaking Season Opener
Georgia Tech’s 2026 football season got off to a devastating start with a 14-13 loss to Colorado in a game that came down to the final seconds. With time expiring, the Jackets’ game-winning 45-yard field goal attempt was blocked, leaving fans and players alike devastated. Despite an impressive performance from Indiana transfer quarterback Alberto Mendoza, who completed 17 of 23 passes for 237 yards, the Yellow Jackets struggled on both lines of scrimmage. The offense managed just 51 rushing yards, a concerning stat that Tech fans hope was merely a first-game hiccup. While this loss stings, there’s still plenty of season ahead to turn things around.

Taylor Wade secured his second-career race victory in the 4-mile at the season-opening meet for Georgia Tech track and field.
