Colorado Buffaloes' Injury Concerns and Season Outlook Ahead of Georgia Tech Opener The Colorado Buffaloes will open their season on the road against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Thursday, Sept. 3, marking the debut of new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and defensive coordinator Chris Marve. The matchup will serve as the first test for the Buffs’ revamped roster, which includes several new transfers and a fresh coaching staff. Despite the excitement surrounding the new additions, questions remain about the readiness of key players due to injury concerns and limited fall camp participation. Danny Scudero and Kam Perry, both listed as starters on Colorado’s official depth chart, are among the most anticipated additions. However, their availability for the season opener is uncertain. Scudero missed time during fall camp due to a lower-body injury, while Perry also faced setbacks. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Scudero remains a game-time decision. Head coach Deion Sanders expressed optimism about Scudero’s return, noting in early August that the receiver was progressing and expected to be back in action by the week of the game. Sanders also mentioned that Perry would be available for practice before the season opener, emphasizing the team’s readiness to field a full rotation. While Scudero and Perry’s status remains unclear, quarterback Julian Lewis will have a strong receiving corps to rely on. Receivers like DeAndre Moore, Quentin Gibson, and Joseph Williams are expected to be available, providing Lewis with multiple targets. The Buffs’ running back rotation is also anticipated to be deep, with players such as Damian Henderson, DeKalon Taylor, Micah Welch, JaQuail Smith, and Richard Young competing for carries.#deion_sanders #brennan_marion #colorado_buffaloes #georgia_tech_yellow_jackets #chris_marve
