Cameco, Kazatomprom Production Cuts Stoke Uranium Market Tightness

Investing 5 Mins Read

Shares of Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) were on the rise after the uranium major announced it is reducing its annual production guidance due to expansion delays at the McArthur mine in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Instead of the projected 18 million pounds of U3O8 the company was aiming for from its McArthur River joint venture with Orano, the revised output tally reduces 2025’s production total to between 14 million and 15 million pounds.

In January, Cameco warned that delays at McArthur River — including slower-than-expected ground freezing, development setbacks and labor constraints — could affect its 2025 production outlook.

“We have determined that we are unable to fully mitigate the expected impact of the delayed development and slower than anticipated ground freezing in the first half of 2025,” Cameco’s statement notes.

Strong output from the Cigar Lake mine may help offset the McArthur River delays, the company said, adding that its diversified assets and risk management strategy position it to meet commitments and maintain long-term value.

In total, a strong performance at Cigar Lake could provide an additional 1 million pounds.

The uranium miner offered assurances that it will fulfill all delivery obligations with its customers.

“With favourable market prices for uranium today, we continue to have the option to buy in the spot market if it is advantageous for us to do so,” the company said, noting that it can source material through other means as well.

News of the shortfall sent shares of Cameco higher, with the company rising from C$105.91 on Thursday (August 28) to C$114 during after-trading hours. Values had pulled back to the C$105 range by midday on Friday (August 29).

Broader uranium market challenges

Cameco’s production cut is the second output reduction the sector has seen in as many weeks.

On August 22, Kazatomprom, Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium producer, reported plans to lower output in 2026, saying that despite firm long-term prices, market conditions don’t support a return to full capacity.

In a corporate update, the company said its production will be about 10 percent lower compared to earlier targets, dropping from 32,777 metric tons of U3O8 to 29,697 metric tons. The reduction, equal to roughly 8 million pounds, or 5 percent of global supply, will largely stem from changes at its Budenovskoye joint venture.

After spiking to triple-digit levels unseen in more than a decade in early 2024, the spot price has been under pressure, falling as low as US$63.36 in March of this year. However, prices have steadily grown since then, reaching a second quarter high of US$79.01 on June 30 and currently holding at the US$75 mark. Kazatomprom notes that while the spot price remains volatile, the long-term uranium price has held steady at around US$80.

The company plans to exercise its option to operate within a 20 percent deviation of its 2026 subsoil use production levels, with formal guidance to come later. The sector major also also reported stable sulfuric acid supply for 2026, easing concerns after last year’s shortages forced a sharp output downgrade. However, its new acid plant won’t be ready until at least 2026, and higher mineral extraction taxes are expected to weigh on costs.

The updates came alongside half-year results showing that net profit was down 54 percent to 263.2 billion tenge (US$489.5 million), while revenue was off 6 percent at 660.2 billion tenge, largely on weaker sales volumes.

Despite lower near-term output, Kazatomprom said it remains committed to exploration in order to replenish its reserves and maintain its dominance as the world’s top uranium supplier.

Beyond market headwinds, the company highlighted Kazakhstan’s nuclear ambitions, with proposals for three domestic reactors that would require about 1.04 million pounds of uranium each year.

Uranium supply shortage unavoidable?

With tightening margins between uranium demand and global mine supply, these latest announcements are likely to impact market sentiment and could push prices higher.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Uranium Insider’s Justin Huhn posted an ominous message:

According to the World Nuclear Association, mine supply currently accounts for 90 percent of uranium demand, with the other 10 percent being fulfilled through secondary supply sources.

However, secondary supply is declining and mine supply has not grown to account for the discrepancy. This is likely to be further compounded by the addition of 70 new nuclear reactors that are currently in the construction phase.

Coupled with heightening energy demands from the artificial intelligence sector, analysts at FocusEconomics are projecting a higher spot price environment moving forward.

“The Consensus among our panelists is for uranium prices to remain well above the levels that prevailed in the 2010s for the rest of this decade, with prices forecast to hover between US$65 and US$80 per pound,” the firm wrote in an email. “That said, panelists don’t see a return to the highs of 2024, a period when the spot price likely got ahead of underlying market fundamentals due to investor exuberance.”

Crypto Market Update: Stablecoins Top US$283 Billion in Circulation, Bitcoin Slips

Investing 4 Mins Read

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Friday (August 29) as of 12 noon (UTC).

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$108,747, a 3.3 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$108,198 and its highest price on Friday was US$112,652.

Bitcoin price performance, August 29, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin’s slip below the US$110,000 threshold stoked fears of a broader crypto market correction on Friday as liquidations doubled, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge showed persistent price pressures, and Bitcoin flashed a potential risk pattern. Analysts warned the token could be edging toward bear market territory.

Adding to volatility, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale that resurfaced this month—after buying US$2.5 billion in Ethereum—shifted another US$1.1 billion on Friday.

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$4,335.28, down by 3.2 percent over the past 24 hours. Its highest was US$4,511.09 and its lowest was US$4,279.96.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$204.82, down by 2.4 percent. Its lowest valuation on Friday was US$203.74, and its highest valuation was US$217.66.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.94, down by 4.4 percent in the past 24 hours, and at its lowest valuation of the day. Its highest valuation on Wednesday was US$2.98.
  • SUI (Sui) was trading for US$3.30, down by 4.3 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3.29, and its highest level of the day was US$3.50.
  • Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.8201, down by 3.8 percent. Its lowest valuation for Friday was US$0.817, and its highest valuation was US$0.8618.

Today’s crypto news to know

Stablecoins cross US$283 billion threshold record

The stablecoin market reached a new milestone on Friday as total supply climbing to $282.8 billion, according to data from DefiLlama.

That marks a 128 percent increase since January, driven by stronger demand for dollar-pegged tokens and fresh regulatory clarity in the US.

The surge also follows passage of the Genius Act, which sets out federal guidelines for stablecoin issuers and has been billed as a growth catalyst within the sector.

Analysts say stablecoins now serve as a “distribution channel” for US dollars, powering cross-border payments and on-chain settlement systems.

Eric Trump hails US–China leadership in Bitcoin

Speaking at the BTC Asia conference in Hong Kong, Eric Trump praised China’s influence on the digital asset industry and said the US and Beijing were “leading the way” in shaping Bitcoin’s future.

He credited the Middle East as another fast-moving hub for crypto adoption, while stressing Bitcoin’s ability to unite people across borders and cultures.

The younger Trump also added that his father’s administration had accelerated digital asset policy faster in seven months than the prior decade managed. He described America as “winning the digital revolution” with support from Wall Street institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and retirement investors.

Asked whether Bitcoin would be on the agenda in an upcoming US–China trade meeting, he suggested broader topics would dominate but said he “would certainly love to talk about bitcoin.”

Trump-Linked miner American Bitcoin targets September Nasdaq listing

American Bitcoin, a mining company backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is preparing to list on Nasdaq in September following its merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, Reuters reported.

The firm is majority-owned by Hut 8, which controls 80 percent of the business, while the Trump brothers are expected to collectively hold about 19 percent. The company has already raised $220 million to expand its operations and accumulate Bitcoin, adding 215 BTC to its balance sheet as of June.

With Bitcoin trading near US$112,000 this week, that stash is valued at roughly US$24 million.

CEO Asher Genoot said American Bitcoin aims to become one of the largest US mining firms, with backing from high-profile investors including Gemini founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

Hut 8’s own stock has rallied 29 percent this year. If listed today, American Bitcoin would rank among the top 30 public companies holding Bitcoin in the US.

Editor’s Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

Investing 5 Mins Read

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It’s been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank’s board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.

Cook, who has been voting to hold rates steady, was due to serve until 2038; she has now filed a lawsuit asking for Trump’s order to be declared ‘unlawful and void.’

The move has spurred questions about whether Trump can actually fire her — while the Federal Reserve Act doesn’t allow him to remove Fed officials at will, he can do so ‘for cause.’

For its part, the Fed has said it will abide by any court decision.

The situation is still developing, and gold market watchers are keeping a close eye on how it plays out. The yellow metal tends to fare better when interest rates are low, and some experts believe that a rate cut from the Fed could kick off its next move higher

The Fed’s next meeting is scheduled to run from September 16 to 17. Expectations are high that it will cut rates at that time, even though the latest data shows that its preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, was up 2.6 percent year-on-year in July.

Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, saw a rise of 2.9 percent.

Bullet briefing — US drafts new critical minerals list, uranium miners make cuts

US drafts new critical minerals list

The US Department of the Interior has released a new draft critical minerals list, and the recommended additions include silver, as well as potash, silicon, copper, rhenium and lead.

Silver’s potential inclusion is turning heads in the mining community as market participants assess the potential impact for the metal. The critical minerals list is designed to guide federal strategy, investment and permitting deals as the US works to lock down supply of key commodities, meaning that silver-focused companies could see benefits such as tax breaks and faster timelines.

In total, the draft list has 54 minerals, with 50 included based on results from an economic effects assessment. Three were selected on the back of a qualitative evaluation, and zirconium is there because of the potential for a single point of failure in the US supply chain.

The list was set up after a 2017 executive order from Trump and is updated every three years.

It’s worth noting that silver and the other recommended additions aren’t officially critical minerals yet — the draft critical minerals list was posted for public comment on Tuesday (August 26), and feedback will be accepted for 30 days. It’s also worth noting that two commodities may be stripped of their critical mineral status — arsenic and tellurium have been recommended for removal.

Critical minerals lists vary from country to country based on individual needs, although in many cases they have similarities. In January 2024, a group of silver industry participants, including many major miners, sent a letter to Canada’s energy and natural resources minister proposing that silver be included in the nation’s critical minerals list; to date, it has not been added.

Uranium miners cut production guidance

Sweden’s government has proposed the removal of the country’s ban on uranium mining as it looks to reduce its reliance on imports of the energy fuel.

Uranium mining has been banned in Sweden since 2018, but the country has six operating reactors and generates around one-third of its power from nuclear energy.

The ban is set to be removed on January 1, 2026, and comes as nations increasingly look to nuclear power to fill their energy needs. It also comes amid supply questions — although demand is rising and prices are out of a years-long slump, miners have been slow to ramp back up post-Fukushima.

Just last week, Kazatomprom said it was lowering its 2026 production target compared to earlier estimates, cutting about 8 million pounds. Although the company sees stability in long-term uranium prices and strong sector fundamentals, it isn’t prepared to return to 100 percent levels.

Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) made a similar statement this week, saying its 2025 output will be impacted by delays in transitioning the Saskatchewan-based McArthur River mine to new mining areas. Production will be 4 million to 5 million pounds lower, although there is a chance for Cigar Lake to partially offset that loss.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

Investing 11 Mins Read

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

On an industry level, new monthly data for June shows that the resource sector grew by 0.1 percent after two months of declines, primarily driven by a 2.6 percent gain in the oil and gas subsector, with oil sands extraction rising 6.4 percent over May. However, gains were offset by a 9.7 percent monthly decline in support activities for the resource sector, its largest drop in five years, led by reduced rigging and drilling activities.

South of the border, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis released its second estimate for Q2 real GDP on Thursday (August 28). The data shows that US GDP grew by 3.3 percent during the quarter, 0.3 percent higher than its advance estimate.

According to the agency, the figure reflects a decrease in imports and an increase in consumer spending. The GDP’s upward momentum was tempered by a 13.8 percent decrease in private domestic investment, marking the most significant decline since 2020, during the pandemic.

The growth follows a 0.5 percent decrease in the first quarter of 2025, which saw a significant rise in imports.

This week also saw US President Donald Trump attempt to remove US Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Lisa Cook. Trump justified the decision based on Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte’s claim that Cook claimed primary residence in two mortgage applications submitted weeks apart in 2021. She was confirmed to the Fed Board of Governors in May 2022.

Cook is fighting the move in court, with her lawyer stating that Trump’s unsubstantiated allegation of an event prior to Cook’s confirmation does not meet the ’cause’ required by the Federal Reserve Act to remove a governor. By the end of the day on Friday, the judge hearing the case did not reach a decision on whether to issue a temporary restraining order that would allow Cook to remain in her role during the case.

Pulte has previously made similar allegations against other prominent Democrats, including California Senator Adam Schiff, a vocal critic of Trump, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who oversaw a civil suit against Trump that resulted in a US$500 million award.

Trump has been eager to reshape the Federal Reserve Board and has hinted that he would like to replace Chairman Jerome Powell before his term ends in 2026. Trump believes the Fed has not been acting quickly enough to lower interest rates and stimulate the economy.

Markets and commodities react

Canadian equity markets were largely unfazed by Canada’s weak GDP data. In fact, the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) set a new record on Friday, closing the week up 1.73 percent to 28,564.45. The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) did even better, climbing 5.36 percent to finish Friday at 829.57. The CSE Composite Index (CSE:CSECOMP) fell 0.45 percent on Friday following the StatsCan release, but gained 4.17 percent overall during the week to 166.9.

US equity markets also posted gains this week, but fell from record highs on Friday following a selloff of tech stocks. The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) was up 1.19 percent to 6,460.25, while the Nasdaq 100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) rose 0.99 percent to 23,415.42. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) gained 1.32 percent on the week to 45,631.73.

The gold price gained 3.19 percent this week on expectations of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve, reaching US$3,448.15 per ounce by 4:00 p.m. EDT on Friday. Silver ended the week with a larger gain of 4.2 percent, nearly crossing the US$40 per ounce mark in morning trading before settling at US$39.74 per ounce.

Copper also saw some upward movement, gaining 1.1 percent to US$4.59 per pound. The S&P GSCI (INDEXSP:SPGSCI) commodities index posted an increase of 1.3 percent by close on Friday, finishing at 549.70.

Kincora secured a second agreement with AngloGold Ashanti in April for the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla licenses with similar terms, bringing the total exploration funding to AU$100 million.

On Monday (August 25), Kincora announced results from the first drilling program at the Nyngan project, noting that assays support the potential for porphyry copper and epithermal gold, and that it saw ‘encouraging results at particularly shallow depths’ from drill targets identified by a ground gravity survey earlier this year.

Additionally, Kincora said that drilling is ongoing at the Nevertire South and Nevertire projects, with the initial program planned for seven holes and 2,150 meters.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

As of May 2025, there were 1,565 companies listed on the TSXV, 910 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,899 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

Together, the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

How do you trade on the TSXV?

Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

Late TD lifts Georgia Tech over Colorado, Deion Sanders: Highlights:

Sport 11 Mins Read

BOULDER, CO – Coach Deion Sanders has been telling everybody for months that his new football team at Colorado this year is better than before, possibly even the “best team we’ve ever assembled,” as he said this week.

Then came their first game on Friday, Aug. 29 at sold-out Folsom Field.

And it turns out he might be a little off, at least for one game.

Georgia Tech beat Colorado 27-20 after Georgia Tech quarterback Hayne King scored the game-winning 45-yard touchdown run with 1:07 to go.

It was Sanders’ first game at Colorado without his two youngest sons playing for him: quarterback Shedeur and safety Shilo. Two-way star Travis Hunter also has moved on to the NFL after winning the Heisman Trophy last season with the Buffaloes.

In their place, Sanders fielded a new-look band of Buffaloes, who didn’t fully capitalize on Georgia Tech’s three turnovers in three possessions to start the game. They netted only an 8-yard touchdown pass from new quarterback Kaidon Salter, a transfer from Liberty.

Salter finished 17-for-28 for 159 yards and had that passing touchdown. He added 43 more yards on the ground on 13 carries and scored another touchdown.

But King for Georgia Tech was more prolific. He was 13-for-20 passing for 143 yards and had an interception, but he rushed 19 times for a career-high 156 yards and scored all three Georgia Tech touchdowns, including the 45-yard game-winner with just over a minute to go.

Georgia Tech gained 463 total yards, including 320 rushing yards, before Colorado’s Hail Mary pass fell flat to end the game in front of the announced crowd of 52,868.

Georgia Tech vs. Colorado highlights

Final: Georgia Tech 27, Colorado 20

Colorado’s Hail Mary falls incomplete. There was some questionable time management there in the final minute.

Haynes King gives Georgia Tech late lead

King bursts through the line and cruises the rest of the way for a 45-yard rushing TD. Georgia Tech leads 27-20 with 1:07 to go.

The QB has rushed 19 times for 156 yards and three touchdowns. He’s added 143 yards passing.

Colorado answers, ties game again

Colorado quarterback Kaidon Salter engineered his best drive of the game, capped by his 7-yard scramble for a touchdown with under nine minutes left in the game. The score helped tie the game at 20-20 after Salter drove the Buffs downfield 75 yards in 15 plays as coach Deion Sanders implored him to “be you” during an in-game interview with ESPN.

Game officials initially called Salter down at the 1-yard line on his third-down run. But replay review showed he had pushed the ball across the goal line before his knee was down.

End of third quarter: Georgia Tech 20, Colorado 13

Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King busted loose for a 17-yard touchdown run after faking a handoff. He moved his team downfield 75 yards on 11 plays. The touchdown put the Yellow Jackets up 20-13 with 14 seconds left in the third quarter.

The drive chewed up 5:46 of game clock and included five first downs for the Yellow Jackets.

Colorado then ran one play – a completion for 16 yards – as time expired in the third quarter. 

King has 99 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 15 attempts. He also has completed 11 of 17 passes for 115 yards with one interception.

Colorado ties it up again

Colorado has tied the game at 13-13 with six minutes left in the third quarter. Kicker Alejandro Mata drilled a 29-yard field goal after the Buffs drove to the Georgia Tech 5-yard line but got stuffed on three plays before the kick. The scoring drive went 39 yards on eight plays, including a 21-yard pass from Kaidon Salter to receiver DeKalon Taylor on the drive’s first play.

Quiet start to third quarter

Both teams opened the second half with punts, with Georgia Tech still leading 13-10 with 10:15 left in the third quarter. Colorado opened the half with three straight runs by running back Micah Welch, including a 22-yarder to the left on the first play after halftime. But the Buffs stalled at the Georgia Tech 45-yard line.

Welch has eight carries for 65 yards. 

Halftime: Georgia Tech 13, Colorado 10

Georgia Tech responded to Colorado’s field goal with a 43-yard field goal of its own as time expired in the first half. The Yellow Jackets lead at halftime 13-10.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders told ESPN at halftime that quarterback Kaidon Salter has been having communication issues but otherwise has had a “solid game.”

Salter has completed 6 of 10 passes for 48 yards and a touchdown.

Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King has completed 9 of 13 passes for 97 yards. He added a rushing touchdown in the second quarter.

Both teams have reason to be disappointed. Georgia Tech gave up three turnovers to start the game, but Colorado only came up with one touchdown to show for it.

Georgia Tech has outgained Colorado 279-119 in total yards and 18-5 in first downs.

Colorado gets the ball to open the second half.

Colorado ties it up

Colorado rediscovered a little bit of offense to tie the game at 10-10 with 1:39 to go until halftime. The Buffs went 51 yards in eight plays, including a 39-yard pass from quarterback Kaidon Salter to receiver Omarion Miller on third-and-10. That catch on the left side brought the Buffs to the Georgia Tech 25-yard line, but then they had to settle for a 42-yard field goal from kicker Alejandro Mata. 

Georgia Tech takes the lead

The momentum has swung back to Georgia Tech after Colorado failed to fully capitalize on the Yellow Jackets’ three turnovers to start the game. They now lead 10-7 with 4:33 left in the second quarter after going 80 yards in 10 plays, capped by a 4-yard touchdown run by quarterback Haynes King.

Georgia Tech has outgained Colorado 230-63 in total yards. The Yellow Jackets have 16 first downs, compared to three for the Buffs. 

Colorado offense stuck in neutral

Colorado’s offense has fizzled after scoring a touchdown on its first possession. Since then, it’s been three straight punts, including two three-and-outs. Quarterback Kaidon Salter is 4-for-8 passing for 12 yards, including his 8-yard touchdown pass. Georgia Tech has outgained Colorado 150-63 in total yards with 10:30 left before halftime. 

Georgia Tech settles for field goal

The Yellow Jackets settled for a 32-yard field goal after driving from their 2-yard line all the way to the Colorado 8. But a holding penalty pushed them back from there, and now it’s 7-3 with 13:31 left before halftime. They ran 13 plays for 84 yards before the field goal by Aidan Birr. 

End of first quarter: Colorado 7, Georgia Tech 0

Colorado leads 7-0 after one quarter of play but Georgia Tech is threatening to score at the start of the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets finally settled down on their fourth possession of the game, chipping away at Colorado’s defense with a drive that started at its own 2-yard line.

Georgia Tech has outgained Colorado after one quarter, 144-45 yards. The Yellow Jackets have the ball inside the Colorado 20-yard line.

Georgia Tech turns the ball over again

Now it’s three turnovers in three possessions to start the game for Georgia Tech. This time Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King threw to the left on first down in Colorado territory, only to be intercepted by Colorado cornerback DJ McKinney. The interception gave the Buffs possession at their own 34-yard line. 

But the Buffs squandered the opportunity for the second straight time and punted the ball back. 

Georgia Tech fumbles again

Two possessions, two fumbles for Georgia Tech. This time a high snap from center ended up on the ground and was recovered by Colorado defender Keaten Wade, putting the Buffaloes in good field position again at its own 48-yard line early in the first quarter. 

The Buffaloes went three-and-out and had to punt, however.

Colorado turns turnover into touchdown

Colorado has struck first and is up 7-0 after recovering a fumble and scoring after going 36 yards in five plays. Quarterback Kaidon Salter threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to newcomer DeKalon “TrackHawk” Taylor with 12:08 left in the first quarter.

Linebacker Martavius French took the ball away from Georgia Tech on the Yellow Jackets’ second play from scrimmage to set it all up.

When is Colorado vs Georgia Tech?

Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET Friday, Aug. 29 from sold-out Folsom Field in Boulder.

How to watch Colorado vs Georgia Tech

The game will be televised on ESPN and also is available on Fubo.

Colorado vs Georgia Tech odds

The latest odds can be found below. For a full list of sports betting odds, access USA TODAY Sports Betting Scores Odds Hub.

Rain falling at Colorado before game

With less than an hour before kickoff, rain is falling on the field, but not too heavily. It’ll make for wet conditions on Colorado’s new artificial turf field, even if the rain stops after kickoff, as has been forecasted. The rain also has kept the seats from filling at the stadium so far. It’s mostly empty except for students wearing white shirts as part of a coordinated color scheme for Colorado.

Portable toilet on sideline for Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders wasn’t joking when he talked about having a portable toilet on the sideline. A Colorado official confirmed that the black tented box near the 20-yard line is Sanders’ bathroom if he needs it. It is sponsored by Depend, the adult underwear brand. Sanders has a partnership with Depend after having his cancerous bladder removed in May. He has discussed his incontinence and bladder issues openly since then in his effort to remove the stigma around the issue.

What happened to Colorado’s bison mascot?

Raphie VI, Colorado’s live mascot, has retired after four seasons, as was announced earlier this week. Colorado is training a new bison for the job, but she won’t be ready to run on the field before the game.

“We all saw that coming,” Deion Sanders said on the ‘Colorado Football Coaches Show’ Aug. 27.

He was referring to Ralphie VI’s slow trots and seeming lack of interest in the job. Prior Ralphie mascots charged out of the gate down and around the field before kickoff.

“I’m hating the point that we are missing a Ralphie for this game,” Sanders said on the show.

What is the history between Colorado and Georgia Tech?

They’ve never played. But they shared the national championship for the 1990 season after the Associated Press picked Colorado No. 1 to finish the season and the UPI Coaches’ Poll coronated Georgia Tech. It came down to a single point in the Coaches’ Poll. Then-Nebraska coach Tom Osborne previously declined to talk about it but revealed in a recent interview with USA TODAY Sports that he picked Georgia Tech No. 1 instead of Big Eight Conference rival Colorado. Georgia Tech finished 11-0-1 that year. Colorado finished 11-1-1.

Who is replacing Travis Hunter for Colorado?

It takes a village to fill the shoes of the two-way star. On defense, cornerback DJ McKinney was the “other” cornerback last year and is NFL draft material. He’ll be the guy to take on the other team’s top receiver. On offense, the Buffs have a stacked set of fleet feet to catch passes, including a transfer from Incarnate Word who goes by the moniker of “TrackHawk.” That’s DeKalon Taylor, a running back/receiver who is the fastest player on the team.

Why is Colorado wearing a new jersey patch?

The Buffs will wear their traditional home uniforms from the 1990s: gold helmet, black jersey, gold pants, white socks and black shoes. This is to honor former Colorado coach Bill McCartney, who died in January. McCartney led the Buffs to the national championship in 1990 before retiring abruptly after the 1994 season, when his team finished No. 3 nationally.

“We’re going to give some love to Coach McCartney,” Deion Sanders said earlier this week.

The team also will wear a patch on their jerseys to honor “Coach Mac.”

Who will walk with Deion Sanders before the game?

In his first two seasons at Colorado, Sanders would take part in a ritual with his son Shedeur and sometimes his safety son Shilo. They would walk and talk together down the field as father, coach, sons and players. Now that his sons have left the program, another player on the current team offered to walk the same walk with him before the game, which Sanders found touching. But Sanders didn’t say who it was.

No. 6 seed American retires from US Open match with shoulder injury

Sport 3 Mins Read

NEW YORK — American Ben Shelton, thought to be one of the favorites for the US Open outside of top-seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner and No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz, retired from his third-round match against Adrian Mannarino on Friday, Aug. 29, because of a shoulder injury.

Shelton, the No. 6 seed, gutted it out for the three-hour match and had to retire with the match square at two sets a piece. It was the first time in 178 career matches that Shelton was forced to retire.

Shelton said he couldn’t pinpoint when he got hurt, as he was healthy going into the match.

‘Really high,’ Shelton said after the match when he asked what his level of pain was. ‘I’m not sure. You know, I never retired before. I’m not a guy who would retire if I could continue. Even though I was in pain, I was just kind of in that competitive mindset of trying to find a way and push through it.’

Shelton was the first of two ranked American men to fall at the US Open on Friday. A short time after Shelton’s loss, No. 17 Frances Tiafoe was stunned by qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany, 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9-7) in his third-round match.

Mannarino, a 37-year-old from France and ranked No. 77 in the world, advances to the fourth round to face No. 20 seed Jiri Lehecka, a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 winner over Raphael Collignon. It was Mannarino’s first win against a top-10 player in a Grand Slam tournament in 23 attempts.

“When he started to have pain, he was leading in the match,” Mannarino, who is the oldest man to break into the Top 20 in ATP Rankings history at age 35, after achieving a career-high No. 17 in 2024, said after his victory. “Honestly, he probably would’ve won that match. That’s unfortunate for him, and lucky for me. I don’t really know what to say right now. I’m happy to be through, but I wish him the best, of course.”

The 22-year-old Shelton was leading in the second game of the fourth set when he screamed in pain during a forehand shot. He called for a trainer and received treatment on the shoulder, and was in obvious discomfort and emotional on the bench.

“I did something to my shoulder. I don’t know what it is,’ Shelton could be heard saying to his coach’s box.

After losing the fourth set, and during the changeover before the fifth set, he was again visited by medical staff, and, in tears, he decided he couldn’t continue.

‘Usually I’ll play through anything and just kind of find a way. And whether it’s sickness or injury, like, if I can stay out there, I can stay out there. I never felt anything like this before,’ Shelton said.

Shelton made the semifinals of the 2023 US Open and reached the semifinals of the 2025 Australian Open in January.

Miami LB charged with vehicular homicide in crash that killed 3 people

Sport 2 Mins Read

Miami linebacker Adarius Hayes was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and one count of reckless driving in connection with a two-car crash on May 10 that killed three people.

Hayes was arrested after he turned himself into authorities on Friday, Aug. 29, the Largo Police Department in Florida announced, two days before Miami begins its 2025 season against Notre Dame.

The crash happened in the city of Largo, Hayes’ hometown about 20 miles west of Tampa. Police said initial reports showed Hayes ‘was traveling at a high rate of speed and maneuvering aggressively through traffic’ before his Dodge Durango collided with a Kia Soul at an intersection.

The 78-year-old driver of the Kia and two children, ages 10 and 4, were killed, and a 58-year-old man in the passeger of the Kia was hospitalized with serious injuries. Hayes was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and eventually released.

Police said an investigation into the crash discovered Hayes ‘made a rapid and dangerous maneuver’ of crossing three lanes of traffic five seconds before the crash before he quickly crossed lanes again without signaling. He reached a maximum speed of 78 miles per hour in 40 mph zone when he crashed into the Kia, which police added was lawfully executign a left-hand turn.

‘The investigation concluded that Adarius Hayes’ egregious speed, aggressive and reckless lane changes, and complete disregard for surrounding traffic conditions demonstrated a willful and deliberate disregard for the safety of others, constituting reckless driving. These actions directly led to the tragic deaths of the three victims,’ officials said.

Hayes was booked Pinellas County Jail and was released on $350,000 bond four hours later, according to jail records.

Miami said Hayes is ‘indefinitely suspended from all athletic related activities per athletic department policy’ and declined further comment.

A four-star recruit in the 2024 class, Hayes played in 12 games for the Hurricanes last season, mostly on special teams. He made four tackles and recorded one interception.

Cowboys ‘shock’ Kenny Clark by acquiring him in Micah Parsons trade

Sport 4 Mins Read

The NFL world wasn’t the only one shocked by the Micah Parsons trade on Thursday evening – Kenny Clark was too.

Less than 24 hours after being traded to the Dallas Cowboys in the blockbuster deal that sent Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, Clark detailed the life-changing call he received while getting some ice cream for his daughter, Kenaii. Clark was informed of the trade that would end a nine-year run for him in Green Bay – the only NFL team he has played for.

‘I was shocked, but once Jerry and all those guys called me, Schotty and everybody, I just felt wanted. It’s a blessing, I’m appreciative of it.’ Clark said, via the Cowboys’ official site.

The three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle is ready to introduce himself to the Cowboys defense, saying he is prepared to be the best version of himself.

‘No nonsense, you’re going to get a dawg, somebody that’s just all about football,’ Clark said. ‘I’m here to ball. I’m here to be my best self. I feel like when I’m my best self, there’s nobody messing with me. That’s what I bring to the table, I’m here to play my (expletive) off.’

He won’t have a long time to do that, however, with the Week 1 kickoff set for Thursday, Sept. 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Clark will have to cram an entire offseason’s worth of preparation into just a few days as he prepares for his Dallas debut.

‘First and foremost, just establishing myself by how I play,’ Clark said. ‘And just being myself, establishing myself as a leader. I lead by example, I truly believe in being a pro and doing things the right way.’

Jerry Jones pointed out during a press conference following the deal that stopping the run would be a point of emphasis for the team going forward and Clark is a big reason for that. The 29-year-old explained what it will take for the Dallas defense to accomplish that goal.

‘When it all comes down to stopping the run, it’s all about physicality and setting edges,’ Clark said. ‘I think as long as we’re doing our job as a defense, it all takes 11. It takes all of us understanding how to stop the run and it takes all of us holding each other accountable every day to know our responsibilities and play the run so we can be able to rush the passer.’

While Clark won’t be getting to the quarterback at will like Parsons, there is still some potential for sacks with the former Packer.

He set a career-high with 7.5 sacks in 2023 and has 35 for his career, noting that is part of his game.

‘I pride myself on being an all-around defensive tackle, but I’m primarily a nose tackle. That’s my bread and butter…’ Clark added. ‘I can slide out to three in pass rushing situations or whatever the case may be, but wherever they put me, I’m going to make plays.’

From one historic franchise to another, the goal remains the same – no matter the place.

‘It’s a historic franchise, I wouldn’t want no other thing other than to be sitting here,’ Clark said. I’ve got a chance to win a Super Bowl here and that’s all I could ask for. That’s what I want to do, I want to bring a Super Bowl back to the Cowboys.’

While the trade hasn’t drawn rave reviews from analysts, it will come down to what happens on the field. And if there’s one thing for certain about the NFL, it’s that anything can happen.
