Claims (13 extracted, 0 hedged)

The college football season just began in the best way for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. asserted

season → begin → Sanders

Carter → pull → Buffaloes

Carter’s heroics would’ve been nothing, though, if it wasn’t for Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis finding tight end Charlie Williams for a 20-yard touchdown with 37 seconds to go in the game. asserted

Lewis → find → game

The touchdown snapped quite the drought of offense for Sanders’ squad, as the Buffaloes were able to find the end zone in the second quarter but couldn’t muster anything else until that game-winning touchdown late in the fourth. asserted

Buffaloes → snap → fourth

But the Buffaloes’ defense kept them going in the game. asserted

defense → keep → game

They also blanked Georgia Tech in the third quarter and kept it a 10-7 game until Yellow Jackets kicker Aidan Birr hit a field goal to further the lead. asserted

Birr → blank → lead

What should be encouraging moving forward for the Buffaloes is how dominant they were in the run game under new offensive coordinator Breanna Marion. asserted

they → move → Marion

Colorado outrushed Georgia Tech, 183-51, but they were unable to convert that positive rush attack into points. asserted

they → outrushe → points

On the other hand, Sanders and the Buffaloes will need to work on special teams despite Carter’s brilliant rush off the edge during that field goal block. asserted

Sanders → need → block

The Yellow Jackets’ only touchdown on the night was a 100-yard kickoff returned for the score by Rahkeem Smith in the second quarter. asserted

touchdown → return → quarter

And despite the connection between Lewis and Williams with just seconds remaining, Colorado had a go-ahead field goal attempt that was blocked in the fourth quarter. asserted

that → remain → quarter

Of course, it’s just the first game of the season for Colorado, but this is a team looking to turn the tide after going 3-9 last season in Sanders’ third year as head coach. asserted

this → ’ → coach

The details will be worked on, but this is what the Buffaloes needed to get the ball rolling into the new year. asserted

ball → work → year
