A New Chapter for Sanders as Colorado Season Opens without His Sons, Team's Live Mascot

The Colorado Buffaloes face challenges after losing key players to the NFL and retiring their mascot, conceding 463 yards in a narrow loss to Georgia Tech, officials said.

  • Colorado lost to Georgia Tech 27-20 on Friday night in the first game coach Sanders led without his sons on the team.
  • The team faced challenges after losing key players to the NFL, while Sanders' sons moved to NFL roles, prompting roster adjustments.
  • The Buffaloes defense allowed 463 yards total, including 320 rushing yards, and the offense missed opportunities with dropped passes.
  • Sanders said, "Getting three turnovers and not coming up plentiful is not good," and stressed the need for more decisiveness on offense.
  • Colorado retired live buffalo mascot Ralphie VI, aged five, and a new buffalo now trains as her replacement while the team prepares for next weekend's game.
