What a night for Haynes King! With just 1:07 on the clock, he dashed 45 yards for a game-winning touchdown, sealing Georgia Tech's thrilling 27-20 victory over Deion Sanders’ Colorado at Folsom Field. "Number gets called, I do my job," King said, perfectly capturing the essence of his standout performance. He completed 13 of 20 passes for 143 yards, tossed an INT, and dazzled on the ground with 19 carries for 156 rushing yards, scoring three times. Only Jalen Hurts has matched such an explosive start this century, making King's night truly legendary.
