SAN ANTONIO – A lackluster performance at the 2024 Alamo Bowl left fans disappointed as the Colorado Buffaloes were dominated by BYU, 36-14. Despite high hopes for a victory, the Buffs struggled to find their footing throughout the game. The loss marked the end of a promising season on a sour note.

BYU came into the game with a determined attitude, outplaying CU in all aspects of the game. The Buffs’ offense failed to gain momentum, managing only 120 yards by the end of the third quarter. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter proved to be a standout player for the Buffs, accounting for the majority of their offensive yardage.

The Cougars’ strategy of capitalizing on the Buffs’ weaknesses paid off, with timely takeaways and a strong defensive presence. By exploiting CU’s defensive vulnerabilities, BYU was able to secure a convincing victory.

Despite moments of promise, including a strong opening drive that ultimately fizzled out, the Buffaloes struggled to maintain a competitive edge. The Cougars’ aggressive gameplay and physicality proved to be too much for CU to handle.

Throughout the game, the Buffaloes’ lack of execution and overall performance reflected a season filled with missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. The defeat at the Alamo Bowl served as a stark reminder of the team’s shortcomings and areas for improvement moving forward.

As the final whistle blew, CU fans were left to ponder what could have been. Disappointed but hopeful for the future, the Buffaloes will look to learn from this defeat and come back stronger in the seasons to come.
