Are the lights too bright?
Will Colorado’s shine dazzle San Antonio, overshadow BYU and the Alamo Bowl scene? Or will it boil down to blocking, tackling, catching and running?
There are all the events, activities, media sessions, fun and games, dinners and face-to-face meetings. It would be easy for Colorado’s star-filled glitter wave to simply bowl over BYU’s traveling contingent with its luminescence before kickoff.
“Prime Time” is on the doorstep. And so is all the attention legendary Deion Sanders’ show brings with it.
Certainly before the actual game, there’s going to be a wave of Buff Buff. It will be fun.
“They have tons of talent,” said BYU coach Kalani Sitake. “Their defense doesn’t get enough credit because their offense has been so good. It’s a difficult matchup for us, we’ll need to have a complete game from all three phases.”
Here’s a detailed analysis on how BYU can beat Colorado in the 2024 Alamo Bowl.
Game strategy, execution
BYU’s path to victory hinges on a strategic game plan that leverages its strengths while capitalizing on Colorado’s potential weaknesses. BYU’s defense, ranked No. 1 in defensive efficiency in the Big 12, should be the cornerstone. This defense, allowing only 4.9 yards per play, 317 yards per game and 20.08 points on average, must focus on containing Colorado’s explosive offense which leads the nation in offensive efficiency with 6.1 yards per play, 397.6 yards per game and 34.5 points per game.
