This year, you’ll want to remember the Alamo Bowl.
At 7:30 p.m. EST, the 10-2 BYU Cougars are playing the 9-3 Colorado Buffaloes at San Antonio, TX’s Alamodome for what should surely be a memorable matchup.
Although BYU didn’t qualify for the Big 12 Championship, Kalani Sitake’s talented team ended the year on a high note with a win over Houston thanks to quarterback Jake Retzlaff’s 167 yards and running back LJ Martin turning his 22 carries into 87 yards.
“We were close to being in a conference championship game,” Sitake said. “The guys are thirsty for it and they’re hungry for it. … We’ve got some goals I think we can achieve. We’re so close now.”
Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes closed 2024 making quick work of Oklahoma State, routing the Cowboys 52-0 on Nov. 29. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders chucked five touchdown passes, three of which were caught by 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. LaJohntay Wester grabbed a pair, too.
The team’s appearance in the Alamo Bowl is their third in nine seasons. Colorado advanced to the big game in San Antonio in 2016 and 2020. Unfortunately, the squad lost both times.
If you want to see if the third time’s the charm — or if BYU has what it takes — here’s everything you need to know about the BYU vs. Colorado Alamo Bowl, from start time and channel, to how to watch for free.
