BYU doesn't feature a probable NFL first-round draft pick at quarterback, or a Heisman winner at receiver, but the Cougars believe they can keep up with high-scoring Colorado.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished in the top 10 in the Heisman voting and is arguably the best quarterback in the country and a likely NFL first-round draft pick in 2025. He has completed 74.4% of his passes for 3,936 yards and 35 touchdowns, with just eight interceptions. His quarterback rating is 168.2.

While there’s uncertainty about how long top prospects Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will play on Saturday, a high-scoring matchup still looms in San Antonio.

It looms as a popular choice for TV viewers and the intraconference matchup is both unique and intriguing. It features a Heisman Trophy winner in WR-DB Travis Hunter, a talented two-way player, and his quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who finished No. 8 in Heisman Trophy ballot points.

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders made clear he doesn't want anyone smoking in their hotel rooms – or at all – before their bowl game.

Colorado is traveling and staying in a hotel for the Alamo Bowl, and Deion Sanders recently addressed the team with a warning. If any Buffaloes players are smoking, they are going to be in a lot of trouble.
