SAN ANTONIO − Tonight’s game between Colorado and BYU in the Alamo Bowl might be the most attractive college football bowl game that is not part of the College Football Playoff.
Count the reasons:
It’s a prime-time Saturday night game on ABC.
It features the reigning Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado, Travis Hunter.
It also features flamboyant Colorado coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur, who might be the top quarterback selected in the NFL draft in April.
This will be their last game together in college − the Buffaloes (9-3) vs. the Cougars (10-2), two Big 12 Conference teams on opposite sides of the Rocky Mountains who haven’t played each other since the Freedom Bowl in 1988.
Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s quarterback, ranks first nationally in completion percentage (74.2%) and will face a BYU defense that finished the regular season tied for first nationally in passes intercepted (20).
Like Shedeur, Hunter also will play the game under a massive insurance policy to protect him in case he’s injured. Because he plays on offense and defense, Hunter’s injury risk is essentially doubled, adding to the drama tonight after so many other top NFL prospects opted not to play in bowl games to avoid any injury risk that could hurt their future earnings.
Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders (2) and wide receiver Travis Hunter (12) will play in the Alamo Bowl.
Will this bowl game be worth it for Hunter and Shedeur Sanders?
We’re about to find out.
