Alamo Bowl Analysis: How BYU Dominated Colorado and Cemented Their Big 12 Legacy

[@quinndensley8431]

BYU is Family!

[@DK412724]

Another positive spin on winning the Alamo Bowl versus being in the CFP is that they end the season with a victory. Whereas 11 CFP teams will end their season with a loss. Celebrating as a team with a trophy in hand in something that can serve as feel good motivation to win something bigger next season

[@stevencraven4897]

Total, utter domination.

[@elijahhodges4405]

Loved the game. BYU proved that they are here to stay. They should have been in the playoffs.

[@wyattmuirbrook4354]

They should have been more in the conversation but you can’t lose 2/3 games to end the season and think you “deserve” anything

On Track ‘25!

Three phase beatdown

Not the most watched in the history of the school, as I learned a BYU/Utah game in the 50s had 60 million viewers. But most watched of the 2000s, yes.

[@stevencraven4897]

BUT the most REWATCHED BYU Football games would have to be #1) 1980 Holiday Bowl (the Miracle Bowl) #2, #3) 1983 Holiday Bowl (Steve Young catches game winning TD in final college game) and 1984 Holiday Bowl (hobbled Robbie Bosco leads win over Michigan to clinch National Championship) #4 & #5) the two Taysom Hill games vs Texas.

Hi. I'm not a BYU fan. So I say this an unbiased viewer. I believe BYU was the best team in Big 12. No shade at Arizona St. I was saying from like halfway through the season on that they were legit when everyone seemed to be overlooking them. They beat BYU at their place in a competitive game. They earned the Big 12 championship. But I still think that BYU was the best overall football team between two great teams. Both teams should've been in the playoff.

Thanks, jkh2180 for taking time to comment. And thanks for you nice comments about the Cougars. We appreciate everyone’s take. Thank you for sharing.

Who is Colorado?

[@ysguyslive]

Haha!

[@davidwelker6499]

Regarding "don't ever do it again"... im not convinced. Both of Jake's picks were forced to well covered receivers - the shuttle pass was blown up well before he tried to throw it. I cringe every time he throws the ball...

[@ysguyslive]

Yeah David, you’re not alone in feeling that. He’s a “gunslinger” as Steve Young said.

[@michaeltaylors2456]

But I love his leadership and grit.
